With the event ever creeping closer, the players are also reflecting similar moods.

Dwight Ramos shares, "Ever since I was included in the 23 for 2023 list back in 2018, playing in the World Cup has been the dream. Everything I’ve done as a player, all the work I’ve put in, leads to that moment."

Jamie Malonzo adds, "I’ve had the pleasure of playing at the Philippine Arena for Ginebra with more than 50,000 fans, and it was unbelievable. I don’t think having the World Cup at home again will happen in our lifetime, so I hope the fans come out and support us. I think it’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for everyone."
