Comprising a formidable squad of 23 determined and skilled women players, Filipinas embarked on a journey with a singular aspiration: to ignite Filipino pride and exemplify the essence of the Philippines on the grand stage of one of the world’s most esteemed sporting events. The team garnered global acclaim for their awe-inspiring displays throughout the 2023 Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup, particularly their unforgettable victory against New Zealand. This historic triumph not only elevated the nation’s prestige but also etched the country’s debut appearance in the FIFA Women’s World Cup into the annals of history.

“Attesting to the Filipinas’ qualification for their inaugural participation in the FIFA Women’s World Cup, an unequivocal pinnacle in the realm of football, was a momentous honor in itself. While many countries have pursued their initial victories after an extensive series of matches across numerous world cups, the Philippines’ early triumph is undeniably extraordinary,” articulated Atty.
