The full roster of the Philippine women’s national football team is expected to assemble when it holds a training camp ahead of the AFC Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament second round this October.
Though the Nationals fell to world No. 8 Japan in the knockout round of the Asiad, the members of the Asiad group took on the responsibility and fought hard in the absence of some key players. It's another tough climb for the Filipinas against the familiar foes including Chinese Taipei, which they defeated during a dramatic qualifying penalty shootout, 4-3, in the 2022 AFC Asian Women's Cup to reach the World Cup.
"I hope we’ll have every player available for the Olympic Qualifiers. I think the difficulty with this tournament was that it was halfway through the FIFA window and that’s why we had players who were unavailable for the entire tournament or much of the tournament. So, we believe we won’t have that issue going into the Olympic Qualifiers.
"It was very important, like we had a unique opportunity to work with these players in the tournament prior to the Olympic Qualifiers, and that’s the one thing we were happy with. Obviously, coming in and being appointed on such a short notice, we wanted to get as much time with the players as possible, so obviously we had a number of experienced or stronger players that were unavailable. But it gave us a chance to look at the immediate next group of players within this camp.
