The Philippine women's football team aims to stay unbeaten as it faces Hong Kong with a spot in the second round of the AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament on the line.
, the Philippine women’s football team is in prime position to clinch a spot in the second round of the 2024 AFC Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
Philippines head coach Alen Stajcic acknowledged the stern test in front of them, but he is upbeat about their chances of reaching the next phase of the Asian qualifiers. The first round of the Asian qualifiers is composed of 26 teams divided into seven groups and only the group winners are awarded a ticket to the next phase.
A stint in the recently concluded 2023 Pinatar Cup – where the Filipinas played European heavyweights such as world No. 14 Iceland, No. 25 Scotland, and No. 32 Wales – also did wonders for their match sharpness going into the Olympic qualifiers as they are in scintillating form on both ends of the pitch.
The 25-year-old McDaniel suffered an ACL injury in the 2022 Asian Cup and was on the sidelines before making a long-awaited appearance at the 60th minute of the match versus Pakistan.
