The Philippine national women’s football team is seeking financial support as it begins its buildup for the nearing FIFA Women's World Cup set next month. ManilaBulletin READ:
“The support is there [from FIFA and AFC], but I still, you know, want some support from the government actually. Because up to now, well, even in our preparation we haven’t been getting the support that we need."
With the Filipinas’ maiden World Cup appearance happening this July, the team is yet to receive funding from the national government to sustain their preparation for “the hardest four weeks of their lives.” Team manager and patron Jefferson Cheng has also been nothing but a solid support to the Filipinas’ bid in the World Cup.
“But we have already qualified for the World Cup. So, I hope they’ll give, not more, but enough,” he added.
