THE Philippine Sports Commission yesterday approved the awarding of P1.25 million worth of special incentives for the Philippine Women’s Football team that qualified for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
PSC Chairman said the agency “recognizes the significance of their breakthrough performance during the Asian Cup and the qualification to the 2023 World Cup.”
The 23 players plus two reserves will receive P50,000 each for their historic feat during the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup in India, where they reached the semifinals and made it to the World Cup next year.
“I am proud of our women football team members. We met them yesterday and we can feel their humility and strong team spirit. I think this contributed much to their success, among other factors,” Ramirez said.
Last Monday, Ramirez, along with Commissioners Celia Kiram and Arnold Agustin, welcomed Philippine Football Federation President Mariano “Nonong” Araneta Jr. and the members of the national team, namely, Chandler and Olivia McDaniel, Camille Rodriguez, Anicka and Sara Castañeda, Hali Long, and Inna Palacios during their courtesy visit.
