Phnom Penh test for Philippines U22

The AFF Under-22 Championship this week in Phnon Penh, Cambodia will be used by the Philippines to mould a credible team ahead of the SEA Games this year in Manila.

The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) had this week called up 23 players for the team’s challenge in Group A together with Vietnam, Thailand, and Timor Leste.

Other than using local based players, the PFF had also called in a handful from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and foreign based players.

“We wish the team the best of luck as they compete in the AFF U22 Championship 2019,” said PFF general secretary Atty. Edwin Gastanes.

“We hope that the players can maximize their full potential during the competition. Joining the tournament is part of the players’ preparations for the upcoming Southeast Asian Games later this year.”

The team is under head coach Salvador Salvacion.
