Less than 18 months until the Philippine women’s national football team will debut in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, former Defense Secretary and senatorial candidate Gilbert (GIBO) Teodoro calls on the government to pour in support for the national team.

Gibo Teodoro congratulates the PH national team as they finish stronger during this year’s AFC Women’s Asian Cup being in the top four teams in the region.

“Our athletes in the women’s national football team deserve adequate support from the government as they prepare for its historic World Cup games in Australia and New Zealand. Our words of support will fuel their passion but they need financial support for their training, proper diet, and coaching staff,” Teodoro said.

Teodoro, a former Tarlac congressman, added that the government should help the women’s national football team in ensuring that they have a conducive training camp and could afford to train and prepare for ample time.

He also said, “The country’s delegates to the FIFA Women’s World Cup next year should be well-conditioned physically and mentally. This will help in boosting the morale of our athletes as they face the strongest (football) teams in the world."
