Hoping to shake off first-time jitters, the Philippine women’s football team kicks off its historic World Cup campaign as the overwhelming underdog against Switzerland. FIFAWWC
MANILA, Philippines – For the first time in the country’s history, the Philippines will have a team at the FIFA Women’s World Cup as the Filipinas, who were drawn in Group A, take on Switzerland, New Zealand, and Norway in a single round-robin format in the group stage.
Sarina Bolden has performed brilliantly in the past couple of years and will surely be one of the team’s constant starters in the tournament as the 26-year-old shares the all-time goalscoring record with Quinley Quezada at 22 goals. Olivia McDaniel, meanwhile, seems to have cemented her spot as the Philippines’ first-choice goalkeeper as Kiara Fontanilla and newcomer Kaiya Jota look act as her dependable deputies.
In the midfield, Stajcic will have a deep rotation in team captain Tahnai Annis, Ryley Bugay, Anicka Castañeda, Sara Eggesvik, Quezada, and Jaclyn Sawicki.
