History
The Philippine women's national football team was formally organized after the Philippine Ladies' Football Association was established in 1980 by Cristine Ramos. The Philippines managed to make its first achievement when it won bronze at the 1985 Southeast Asian Games.[1]
Marlon Maro coached the women's national football team as early as 2001 when he guided the national team through the 2001 Southeast Asian Games.[2]He was head coach of the national team until 2007, guiding the team for the last time at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games[3] [4]
The Philippine national team participated at the 2011 AFF Women's Championship in Laos from October 16-25, after being inactive for the last 21 months.[5]
The national team had a training camp in the United States in 2012. The team management scouted for players with Filipino heritage in the United States for the national team. Part of the training camp was participation at the 2012 LA Viking Cup, which saw the national team play against American club sides California Cosmos, Metro Stars and Leon. The national team won the tournament beating California Cosmos in the final 4–3 on extra time, the scoreline between the two teams was 1–1 before extra time.[6]
The national team attempted to qualify for the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup. The Philippines was grouped with Bangladesh, Iran and Thailand at the qualifiers single group stage with the winner advancing to the Asian Cup finals. The team fell short of qualifying after losing to Thailand by a single goal despite winning convincingly over its other group opponents, Iran and Bangladesh.[7]
The 2013 AFF Women's Championship saw the participation of the Philippine squad. The Philippines was grouped with Laos, Indonesia, hosts Myanmar and invitees Japan U23. The Philippines failed to proceed to the knock-out stage, after placing third in the group, with only the top two teams proceeding to the next phase of the tournament. The Philippines lost to Japan U23 and Myanmar and won against the other two teams.[8]
The women's national football team participated at the 2013 Southeast Asian Games. The Philippine Olympic Committee decided only to send the women's national football team. The committee decided against sending their men counterpart to the games.[9] The Philippines failed to get past the Group Stage losing against all three nations grouped with the country.[10]
Following the Southeast Asian Games campaign, allegations that coach Ernie Nierres used stolen credit cards in booking tickets of the US-based players either for flights to the Philippines or back to the united States, prompting the concerned players buying their own ticket due to their ticket being voided for not being authorized.[11][12] Nierras, denied the accusation, and insists that a travel agency and not him was responsible for booking the tickets.[13] Since, 2014 the national team hasn't played a competitive match.
On February 2015, it was reported that PFF General Secretary Ed Gastanes said that the women's national team currently doesn't have a head coach. Previous Ernie Nierras was not an A license coach meaning he was not able to continue his coaching stint, leading the team in his last competitive match as coach in 2013. The PFF is considered Lelet Dimzon and Buda Bautista to take the job as head coach of the women's national team[14] The PFF announced in April 2015 that Bautista was appointed as head coach and will first lead the team at the 2015 AFF Women's Championship.[15] Bautista is also the first female coach of the national team.[16][17]
