2023 Philippines Women’s World Cup Squad: Latest Call-ups
The roster for the 2023 Philippine Women’s World Cup is now converging in the run-up to a first-ever World Cup for the Filipinas.
The Philippines, ranked 49th in the world, have never qualified for a World Cup or an Olympic Games like this, but hope they can put on a good show of themselves Down Under, following on from last year. The country reached a semi-final at the AFC Women’s Asian Cup and won the AFF Women’s Championship for the first time, so the women’s team is doing well. However, this will be considerably more difficult.
The Philippines are in Group A with fellow hosts New Zealand, Switzerland and Norway. Not much is expected of them – and they’ll likely buck expectations even by avoiding the bottom spot in their group – but with hardly anyone on the team particularly famous in the rest of the world, they’ll enjoy the role of unknown quality .
Philippines-based Hali Long will be key in defence, as the country’s current most capped international, while US-based Isabella Pasion is only 16 years old and will become one of the youngest footballers ever on a World Cup, male or female. she characterizes. There are also players without clubs that may be called up, such as the restricted pool to attract players.
For the Filipinas however, as with so many countries at this tournament, this could be a turning point in which the sport captures the imagination at home.
The Philippines are in World Cup Group A with New Zealand, Norway and Switzerland, their first World Cup match is against Switzerland on July 21 and below is their most recent squad before announcing their World Cup squad on July 9.
