Highlighted by two World Cups of different settings but of the same value, and continental and regional sporting events that should attract the fiercest of competitors, the athletes are all armed and ready to represent the flag against the best oppositions. Serving as fire to their goals, the road to the 2024 Paris Games has opened, making this stretch of 12 months the most important season for contenders who will vie for precious Olympic spots.
Fresh from the euphoria of the FIFA World Cup where Argentina and its beloved hero Lionel Messi copped the prestigious trophy, it will be the turn of the lady footballers to own the spotlight, with the Philippine women’s team joining the contest for the first time in history come July. Called the “Filipinas,” they are bracketed with home team New Zealand, Switzerland, and Norway.
The Philippine delegates aim for a better result after landing in fifth spot in the previous edition of the SEA Games in Vietnam last year with a total haul of 52 gold, 70 silver, and 104 bronze medals. Meanwhile, it will be a tough task for athletes to match or surpass the four-gold collection from the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, while they also eye to exceed a two-gold performance from the 2017 AIMAG in Turkmenistan.
