Philippine Football Federation Statement re: Senior Women's National Team

c/o Tajikistan Football Federation

The young and the fearless team, our PWNT did a gutsy job and made us all and our country proud. Philippines will be one of only 8 countries in Asia in the finals of the 2018 Asian Women Cup Jordan. 5 of 8 competing national teams will go to FIFA Women World Cup 2019 in France. We need to sustain the campaign and hope for good results in Jordan. Meantime, PFF hopes the POC-PSC SEA Games 2017 Task Force approve our earlier request to send a women football team in SEA Games this August 2017. Our current women football campaign deserves no less. Laban Pilipinas!

Statement arrived earlier this morning from Philippine Football Federation General Secretary Atty. Edwin Gastanes, in light of the team securing qualification to the AFC Women's Asian Cup late last night.
