Coming off the back of their first ever FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023, and their first ever Championship Title in the 2022 edition of the ASEAN Women's Championship, the Philippines National Women's Team (also known as the 'Filipinas') are serious contenders to compete for the title!

Ranked 7th in Asia, and 41st in the world - their highest ranking ever while entering an AFC Women's Asian Cup™, the team didn't concede a single goal throughout the qualifying stage, beating AFC Women's Asian Cup™ veterans Hong Kong to claim the qualifying spot.

This will be the Philippines 11th appearance in the AFC Women's Asian Cup™, having qualified for the Semi-Finals in the 2022 tournament.

After the qualification, Head Coach Mark Torcaso indicated that Philippines' had stuck to their game plan, and intended to use the upcoming ASEAN Tournament to cement a new squad to bring to Australia in 2026.

"We came with the objective to qualify and not to lose and not to concede, and we did that,” said Torcaso.

“We’re now looking forward to the ASEAN tournament (in August) with probably a slightly different squad because some players weren’t available for this Qualifiers due to club commitments.

“It will be a combination of young and senior players and we’ll look to defend the title and use that as part of the preparation for the Asian Cup in Australia.”
