The Philippine Women's National Football Team, known as the Filipinas, revealed their 23-player squad on Saturday for the upcoming ASEAN Women’s Championship (MSIG Serenity Cup) in Vietnam, scheduled from August 6 to 19. As the reigning champions following their 2022 victory on home soil, the Filipinas aim to defend their title against regional competitors.

Veteran stalwarts Hali Long and Inna Palacios have been included, bringing leadership and experience to the squad. Head coach Mark Torcaso expressed optimism despite some key players being unavailable due to the tournament not falling within the FIFA calendar.

"While we have a few players unavailable, due to this not being a FIFA window, this opens up a great opportunity for our talented young players to step up. This is an exciting opportunity for our young players to gain experience and compete at a high level. They've earned this chance, and we see it as a key part of our long-term plan for preparing for the 2026 Asian Cup. As defending champions, we're here to win, and do the best we can for the country and our fans. We believe in the depth of our squad and we're ready to showcase it," Torcaso stated.

The team roster includes Olivia Mcdaniel, Nina Meollo, Inna Palacios, Malea Cesar, Rhea Arcenal Chan, Lyka Cuenco, Janae Defazio, Kaya Hawkinson, Hali Long, Azumi Oka, Aaliyah Schinaman, Aliana Weibel, Isabella Alamo, Alessandrea Carpio, Jaycee Defazio, Charisa Lemoran, Isabella Pasion, Quinley Quezada, Tea Pidding, Adelaide Wyrzynski, Nina Mathelus, Chandler Mcdaniel, and Dionesa Tolentin.

The Philippines has been grouped in Group B alongside Myanmar, Australia U23, and Timor Leste. Only the top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage of the competition.

The Filipinas enter the tournament with high expectations as they aim to uphold their championship status and build momentum towards the 2026 Asian Cup.
