00:00Target the Philippine women's national football team head coach Mark Torcaso
00:04who will be the champion of the Philippines in two heavyweight Southeast Asian football tournaments this year.
00:10This is the story of my teammate, Daryl Oclares.
00:16A big challenge is waiting for our Philippine women's national football team
00:20because they were able to compete in two prestigious Southeast Asian tournaments this 2025.
00:27First on the list is the ASEAN Women's Championship
00:31where the Philippines defended their championship that they lost in 2022.
00:36The Philippine booters were also able to recover from the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Thailand in December.
00:44Remember that the Philippines was unable to enter the medal round of the 2020 edition of the SEA Games in Cambodia.
00:52That's why Philippine women's national football team head coach Mark Torcaso
00:57is making sure that his team will be ready for the two heavyweight competitions.
01:22In order to expand the player pool of the Philippines,
01:26Torcaso will also conduct a talent identification in February.
01:32In addition to Torcaso, this year will be important for the country to return to the FIFA Women's World Cup
01:39which will be held in Brazil in 2027.
01:42The Philippines will debut in 2023.
01:46The Philippines will play in the FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil in 2027.
