Little rest for Filipinas after World Cup as Asiad looms
THE Philippine women’s national team won’t have much time to rest after the FIFA World Cup as the Filipinas will next turn their focus on the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Currently in strong contention for an unlikely berth in the knockout stage of the World Cup in New Zealand, the Filipinas will have the Asiad for their next stop where football competitions start on Sept. 25 in five different venues.
This marks another historic milestone for the women’s team as it competes in the quadrennial showcase for the very first time.
During the competition draw held in Hangzhou on Thursday, the Filipinas ended up being bunched with region powerhouse South Korea, Myanmar, and Hong Kong in Group E.
Group A will have three-time gold medalist China, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan, while Group B has Chinese Taipei, Thailand, and India.
In Group C are North Korea, Singapore, and Cambodia.
Defending champion Japan, the highest-ranked Asian country in the world at No. 11, leads Group D together with Vietnam, Nepal, and Bangladesh.
Filipinas, Japan in win column
Along with the Philippines, Japan, China, South Korea, and Vietnam are the Asian countries currently seeing action in the World Cup, with the Filipinas and the Japanese so far the only two to make it to the win column.
