ThePhilippines women's national football team represents thePhilippines in internationalwomen's association football competitions. It is managed by thePhilippine Football Federation (PFF), the sport's governing body in the country.
The Philippine women's national football team was established in the 1980s and has been a regular participant in theAFC Women's Asian Cup since their first appearance in1981, back when the tournament was known as the AFC Women's Championship. The Philippines hosted the tournament in1999, with matches played inIloilo andBacolod. The team took a hiatus from the continental tournament after competing in2003. Following theAFC's introduction of a qualification process from the2006 edition, the Philippines successfully returned to the AFC Women's Asian Cup in2018, havingqualified the previous year, and achieved a historic milestone by advancing beyond the group stage for the first time. Their success continued into the2022 edition, where they reached thesemifinals and secured their qualification for the2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. This marked the national team's debut at aFIFA Women's World Cup.
In Southeast Asian football, the Philippine women's team won their firstAFF Women's Championship title in2022. Before this victory, the team had achieved limited success in previous editions of the championship and theSoutheast Asian Games. Their notable accomplishments included bronze medal finishes in1985—a year when only three teams competed in the women's football event—and in2021.
From December 2023 to March 2024, the team achieved their highest-ever position, 38th, in theFIFA Women's World Ranking.
The Philippines women's national football team was formally organized after the Philippine Ladies' Football Association (PLFA) was established in 1980 by footballerCristina Ramos, who later became a member of the team.[3] The Philippines took part in the1983 Asian Women's Championship inThailand although the tournament at the time was not sanctioned byFIFA or theAsian Football Confederation (AFC). In order for the Philippines to be eligible to participate in FIFA tournaments, the PLFA and, in extension, the women's national team would have to be an affiliate of the PFF, the Philippines' national sports association for football. The PLFA later became part of the PFF.[4]
The Philippines was among the teams which competed in the1985 Southeast Asian Games inThailand, the first-ever edition of the games to host women's football.[5] The team clinched its first podium finish in a tournament by finishing in third place.[3] However, the football event of the tournament was only contested by two other teams,Thailand andSingapore, with the Philippines not winning a single match.
Marlon Maro, a formerdefender for thePhilippines men's national team, coached the women's national football team as early as 2001 when he guided the national team through the2001 Southeast Asian Games.[6] He was head coach of the national team until 2007, coaching the Malditas for the last time at the2007 Southeast Asian Games.[7][8]
The Philippines national team participated at the2011 AFF Women's Championship inLaos on October 16–25, after being inactive for the last 21 months.[9]
The national team participated in a training camp in the United States in 2012. The team management scouted for players withFilipino heritage in the United States for the national team. Part of the training camp was participation in the 2012 LA Viking Cup, which saw the national team play against American club sides California Cosmos, Metro Stars, and Leon. The Malditas won the tournament by beating the California Cosmos in the final 4–3 onextra time following a 1–1 draw, earning the team their first-ever trophy, albeit in a minor tournament.[10]
The national team attempted toqualify for the2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup. The Philippines was grouped withBangladesh,Iran andThailand at thequalifiers single group stage with the winner advancing to the Asian Cup finals. The Malditas fell short of qualifying after losing to eventual group winners Thailand by a single goal despite winning convincingly over its other group opponents, Iran and Bangladesh.[11]
At the2013 AFF Women's Championship, the Philippines was grouped withLaos, Indonesia, hostsMyanmar, and theJapan under-23 team, who were invited to the tournament. The Philippines failed to proceed to the knockout stage after placing third in the group, with only the top two teams proceeding to the next phase of the tournament. The Malditas lost to Japan U23 and Myanmar and won against the other two teams.[12]
At the2013 Southeast Asian Games,[13] the women's national football team failed to get past the group stage, losing against the two other nations grouped with the country and failing to score a single goal.[14]
In February 2015, PFF general secretaryEd Gastanes said that the head coach position for the women's national team was vacant after its previous holder,Ernie Nierras, was not an A license coach, meaning he was not able to continue his coaching stint. Nierras led the team in his last competitive match as coach in 2013.[15] The PFF announced in April 2015 that former footballerBuda Bautista was appointed as head coach and was first tasked to lead the team at the2015 AFF Women's Championship.[16] Bautista also became the first female coach of the national team.[17][18] The Malditas failed to get past the group stage of the2015 AFF Women's Championship, only winning a game againstMalaysia and losing the other two matches.
2017 would mark the entry of businessmanJefferson Cheng as a sponsor of the Philippine national team.[19] who also was appointed the team manager of the team in 2017.[20]
Still under Bautista, the Philippinesqualified for the2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup in Jordan, the first time the national team qualified for theAFC Women's Asian Cup since a qualification phase was introduced starting from the2006 competition; prior to the inception of qualifications, the Philippines hadparticipated in every iteration of the tournament except for three, failing to reach the knockout stages in each participation. The team finished second in their group in the qualifiers, in which each of the group's winners qualify for the Asian Cup.Jordan won the group, but since it had already qualified as hosts of the 2018 edition of the tournament, the virtue of qualification went to the group's runners-up.[21]
In 2017, the PFF launched the "Project Jordan" task force to help the Malditasqualify for the2019 FIFA Women's World Cup through the 2018 Asian Cup. The PFF secured major sponsorship and hired United States–based English coach, Richard Boon; an identification camp was held in the United States participated by national team players and prospects.[22] A three-month training camp in the United States was later set up in late December 2017.[23] In March 2018, Boon was replaced by French coachRabah Benlarbi[24]as the national team held a camp at thePFF National Training Centre inCarmona, Cavite.[25] The national team held their last camp under "Project Jordan" in Japan from March 20 to 27, 2018.[26]
At the 2018 Asian Cup, the Philippines failed to reach theknockout stage leading to the championship, by which doing so would have resulted in automatic qualification for the 2019 World Cup. However, by finishing third intheir group, the Malditas qualified for a specialfifth place match, of which the winner qualifies for the World Cup; it was the first time the Philippines advanced beyond the group stage of the Asian Cup in their participation history. The country, then ranked 72nd in theFIFA Women's World Rankings, failed to qualify for the World Cup after losing 5–0 to the 16th-rankedSouth Korea in the fifth place match of the tournament.[27]
The Philippines competed at the2019 Southeast Asian Games, which was hosted at home, but were denied a bronze medal by Myanmar.[28]
The Philippines did not play any games since the 2019 Southeast Asian Games due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, they attained their highest-ever world ranking then at 65th place by the end of 2020.[29]
Guided by Marlon Maro, who returned as head coach of the team, the Philippines qualified for the2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup inIndia after featuring in thequalifiers held in September 2021 despite almost a year of inactivity after beatingNepal andHong Kong inTashkent,Uzbekistan.[29][30]Alen Stajcic was appointed as head coach in October 2021.[31][32] At the2022 Asian Cup group stage, they defeatedThailand 1–0, ending a 13-match losing streak against their Southeast Asian rivals.[33] The Malditas advanced to theknockout stage for only the second time in their Asian Cup participation, beatingChinese Taipei in thequarterfinals onpenalties following a 1–1 draw and qualifying for the2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. It was the first time that the Philippines qualified for theFIFA Women's World Cup, and the first time the country qualified for a FIFA World Cup of any gender or age level.[34] The national team also improved their Asian Cup record by reaching thesemifinals of the tournament, where they lost 2–0 to South Korea. This consequently moved them 10 places up theFIFA Women's World Rankings to 54th place, setting a new peak rank. Stajcic also had his contract with the team extended to after the 2023 World Cup.[35]
At the2021 Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam, which was held in May 2022 due to the pandemic, the Filipinas repeated their success from the previous edition by reaching theknockout stage. Despite losing toThailand 3–0 in the semifinals, the Philippines defeatedMyanmar 2–1 to win the bronze medal in a rematch of the 2019 edition. The team achieved their best finish at the tournament in 37 years.[36]
On June 23, 2022, the Filipinas recorded their first win on European soil after defeatingBosnia and Herzegovina 3–0 in a friendly inBrežice,Slovenia.[37]
The Philippines hosted the2022 AFF Women's Championship. They secured their first-ever final appearance in a FIFA-sanctioned tournament and guaranteed a podium finish byupsetting defending championsVietnam 4–0 in thesemifinals, recording their best finish at theAFF Women's Championship yet.[38][39] It also marked the Filipinas' first win against Vietnam after 16 matches against each other, who, alongside Thailand, have been their most-matched opponents in their 42-year history.[40] The team went on to defeatThailand 3–0 in the final, which was attended by 8,257 spectators at theRizal Memorial Stadium inManila,Philippines, and clinched their first-ever title in any major tournament.[41]
The Philippines was invited to participate in the2023 Pinatar Cup inSan Pedro del Pinatar,Spain, to prepare for its maiden Women's World Cup bid. The Philippines were the first non-European team to join thePinatar Cup. The team played againstWales,Scotland, andIceland, making them the lowest-ranked team in the tournament. They lost all of their matches and finished in fourth place with zero points having scored only one goal in the tournament, a 90th-minutefree kick byMeryll Serrano against Scotland.[42]
The Filipinas played the first round of the2024 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament inDushanbe,Tajikistan, defeating all three opponents without a single goal conceded, and at the2023 Southeast Asian Games inCambodia.[43] At the latter tournament, they failed to reach the semifinals after finishing third in the group behind Myanmar, whom they lost to 1–0.[44]
Debutants Philippines were drawn intoGroup A alongsideNorway,Switzerland, and tournament co-hostsNew Zealand. The Filipinas were selected from pot 4, thus were the lowest-ranked team in Group A.[45]
The Philippines played their first group stage match at the2023 FIFA Women's World Cup inDunedin,New Zealand, on July 20, 2023, suffering a 2–0 defeat againstSwitzerland. On July 25, 2023, inWellington, the Filipinas won 1–0 againstNew Zealand, their first match victory at aFIFA Women's World Cup.Sarina Bolden scored the winning goal, which was the Philippines' first-ever goal in the competition, in the 24th minute through aheader fromSara Eggesvik'scross. GoalkeeperOlivia McDaniel was awarded theplayer of the match for her performance in the historic win, registering numeroussaves against the co-hosts and keeping aclean sheet.[46] However, the Philippines lost 6–0 in their final group match againstNorway, the highest-ranked team in their group, withAlicia Barker committing anown goal,Sofia Harrison beingsent off for a carelessdive, and the Filipinas conceding ahat-trick to Norway'sSophie Román Haug atEden Park inAuckland. They finished last in Group A withthree points thanks to their win against the Football Ferns, but failed to reach theknockout stage in their debut World Cup.[47] Stajcic's contract as head coach expired thereafter.[48]
In August 2023,Mark Torcaso was appointed as the head coach of the Philippines women's team under a two-year contract. Until December, Torcaso concurrently coachedWestern United FC in theA-League Women.[49] The Filipinas played in thefootball tournament of the postponed2022 Asian Games in China in September 2023. It was their first ever participation in thetournament.[50] They were able to advance to the quarterfinals[51][52] where eventual championsJapan ended their run.[53]
The Philippines took part in the second round of the2024 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament inPerth,Australia, later that year.[54] Their 8–0 defeat against hostsAustralia on the second matchday took place in front of a sold-out crowd of 59,155 at thePerth Stadium, having been relocated from the much smallerPerth Rectangular Stadium to meet the strong demand.[55] The Philippines failed to advance to the third round and thus qualify for thewomen's football tournament of the2024 Summer Olympics after finishing as the second-best runners-up among the three groups in the qualifying tournament, wherein only the best-ranked runners-up would advance.[56]
There was uncertainty afterJohn Gutierrez's election as PFF president in November 2023. However in January 2024, it was announced that sponsorJefferson Cheng, whose best feat was to help the team qualify for theFIFA Women's World Cup, would be retained as team manager.[57]
In February 2024, the Philippines played in the2024 Pinatar Cup againstScotland andSlovenia.[58] They finished the tournament in fourth place after losing 1–0 to Slovenia in the third-place playoff.[59]
In June 2024, Cheng stepped down from the role, citing that the situation was "not workable" due to an "incompatibility" and "misalignment" of goals with the current organization.[60][61] Friendlies, especially with teams from other confederations, became less frequent after this.[62]
In June 2025, the Philippines started their campaign to secure a berth at the2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup via thequalifiers inCambodia.[62] The Philippines qualified on July 5, 2025, after their 1–0 win against Hong Kong. They also won their two prior games againstSaudi Arabia (3–0) and hostsCambodia (6–0).[63]

| Malditas | 2005–2022 |
| Filipinas | 2022– |
The Philippines women's national football team has been known or nicknamed as the "Malditas".[64] There is no direct English equivalent, but translations range from a mild swear or epithet ("damned" or "accursed" ones (female)) to respect or fear ("badasses" (female)). The nickname was adopted by the team during the2005 Southeast Asian Games under head coachErnest Nierras. Nierras meant the moniker to reflect the players' gutsy nature and inner fight ("palaban"[64]), a symbol of a determined team who never gives up and whom opponents fear to face.[65] However, as the termmaldita could also be interpreted as "bratty", head coachMarlon Maro in October 2021 proposed discontinuing the nickname. Maro wanted to replace the nickname, believing theMalditas monicker to be pejorative.[66] After Maro's departure in late 2021, the status of the proposal became unclear with members of the national team at that time preferring to keep the nickname.[67]
In March 2022, the PFF announced that they would be officially adopting the nickname "Filipinas" for the team.[68] The moniker had been used before, as the demonym for female people of the Philippines. Team managerJefferson Cheng reasoned thatMalditas is aswear word in Spanish and Portuguese which translates to "damned", but the derivative word has a bit more of a pejorative meaning in Tagalog and, despite its uniqueness, one could imagine it to be "problematic" having to repeatedly explain its meaning. Cheng also said that theFilipinas moniker is a standalone and is not meant to be preceded by a modifier (e.g. Philippine Filipinas).[69]
German sportwear brandAdidas is the official kit provider for the Philippines women's national team since February 2023.[70] There are three sets for the2023 FIFA Women's World Cup released in May 2023; blue, red and white.[71]
The earliest recorded home matches of the Philippines women's national team were held at theIloilo Sports Complex, it was during the1999 AFC Women's Championship when the country hosted the tournament.[72] The national team also held official international matches at thePhilSports Football and Athletics Stadium andMoro Lorenzo Football Field.[73] In October 2015, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the Philippine Football Federation and the local government ofBiñan, allowing the national team to use theBiñan Football Stadium as their home stadium for the next four years.[74] The national team has recently played the majority of its matches at theRizal Memorial Stadium inManila, which is the Philippines'national stadium.
