The Philippines collected two points with draws against Myanmar and Laos. The Filipinos will take on the undefeated Vietnam in Group B action this Wednesday at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
The Philippine Men’s National Football Team is gearing up to take on their biggest test in the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup™ 2024 campaign, when they take on Vietnam on Wednesday night, 9:00PM, at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
The two-time champions and pre-tournament favorites currently hold top spot in Group B, and enter the contest fresh from victory over Indonesia.
“We are really looking forward to play against Vietnam - a good team. They are leading the group and from my point of view is the strongest team in the group and the team to beat. Tomorrow we have a fantastic opportunity to prove to ourselves that we’re able to beat these kinds of teams,” said head coach Albert Capellas.
The Philippines drew their first two matches against Myanmar and Laos, and are now looking to utilize the energy of the home support to carry them against the Southeast Asian giants.
“We got two points in our first two matches, but we’re still very much alive in this tournament. We respect Vietnam, they’re a good team and viewed as favorites in this tournament, but we’re going to give a good fight and go for the three points,” said Alex Monis.
