Team Filipinas makes The Manila Hotel their home.

 

Filipinas, the prestigious Philippine women's national football team, returns home victorious and full of joy following an astounding finish at the ongoing 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.  The Manila Hotel extends its warmest welcome to the team, making it their home following their arrival from New Zealand, in recognition of their outstanding achievement and passion to the sport.

Filipinas, a team of 23 brave female athletes, set out with one objective in mind: to make Filipinos proud by representing the Philippines on one of the world's most famous sporting platforms. The team drew public recognition with their outstanding performance at the 2023 FIFA World Cup, particularly their spectacular victory over New Zealand. This historic victory not only brought the country pride, but it also represented the country's first debut in the FIFA Women's World Cup. Despite coming from varied origins, the players joined in lifting the country's flag with great pride, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to making every Filipino proud.

“Just being qualified to compete, for the first time ever, in the FIFA Women’s World Cup which is undoubtedly football’s biggest stage, was a great honor in itself for the Filipinas. Compared to many countries that have scored their first wins after numerous games in several world cups, the Philippines’ early win was phenomenal indeed,” expressed by The Manila Hotel President, Atty. Joey Lina.
