The Philippine Under-18 Men’s National Team will compete in the upcoming AFF U18 Championship 2019 from 6-19 August 2019 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The Philippines is in Group A and will face Indonesia, Myanmar, Laos, Timor-Leste, and Brunei. The top two teams will advance to the knock-out stages.
Christopher Pedimonte is the head coach of the team. He is assisted by assistant coaches John Paul Merida, Ramonito Carreon, and goalkeeping coach Anthony Albao.

The PFF called up 23 players for the competition. The team held a closed training camp at the PFF National Training Center in Carmona, Cavite in preparation for the tournament.
