The Philippine women’s national football team is going to face a serious test.
The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) announced on Tuesday that the Filipinas will play in an “unofficial match” against Sweden on July 17 in Wellington, New Zealand.
The game against the world’s third ranked women’s team is part of the Filipinas’ training ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in July.
“We thank our friends from the Swedish Football Association for working with us in making this match happen,” said PFF general secretary Atty. Edwin Gastanes in a statement.
“It’s a great opportunity for our Filipinas to test themselves against a world-class team before the FIFA Women’s World Cup.”
The 46th-ranked Filipinas are currently undergoing an intensive training camp in Sydney, Australia, for the World Cup.
