U20 PMNT IN THAILAND FOR THE AFC ASIAN CUP QUALIFIER
The U20 Philippine Men’s National Football Team, composed of 24 players from the Philippines and other parts of the world, is now in Thailand for the AFC U20 Asian Cup Qualifier 2024 to be held from September 21-29, 2024 in Buriram, Thailand.
The mentors of the team are Philippine Football Federation (PFF) Technical Director Josep Maria “Coco” Ferre who is the head coach; and assistant coaches Sergio Mascarell, Tomasito Glenn Ramos and Bryan Capistrano, and goalkeeping coach Juan Drets. The delegation is headed by PFF Director of Football Vince Santos.
The team spent weeks of training at the Rizal Memorial Stadium before flying out last September 16 to Hua Hin, Thailand, for a training camp to be held until September 22. As part of the camp, the U20 PMNT had a friendly game against Suphanburi T2 that resulted in a draw, 2-2.
The Philippines is in Group H with Iraq, Thailand and Brunei Darussalam.
“The Federation has decided to keep the core of the ASEAN U19 squad from last July since they have won against Timor-Leste for the very first time in this age group and they have a better understanding of Coach Ferre’s system,” said PFF President John Anthony Gutierrez.
“But still, PFF continues to strengthen our youth national teams through a fair tryout and selection process, and more opportunities for training. We have recruited key additions to our U19 squad who will add more depth. But it has to be underscored that the team will cap its preparation with a week-long training camp in Thailand, signifying our serious intent to qualify for the U20 Asian Cup,” Gutierrez continued.
The squad members come from teams and clubs from Spain, USA, Philippines, Australia, Germany, Canada, Russia, Turkey, Italy and the UK.
“We wish this PH U20 squad the best. Soar to greater heights and make our country proud in Thailand,” Gutierrez ended.

Coco Torre new role in AFC
The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) would like to congratulate Coco Torre on his new role in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). This development marks a new chapter in Coco's career as a football administrator and advocate. His zeal and dedication have resulted in bringing the Philippines Football League (PFL) and PFF competitions to greater heights.
Under Coco's leadership as Commissioner, the PFL’s quality as a competition has improved, with more teams and bigger following. In his capacity as head of the PFF Competitions Department, he spearheaded in organizing age-group youth competitions that invigorated football in the regions. As one of the brains and implementors of the "10K Strong" campaign to promote the national team matches, Coco brought the beautiful game closer to the fans.
As interim General Secretary, he initiated reforms for better governance and facilitated a smooth transition to the new PFF administration.
We have no doubt that in the AFC, Coco's A-game and passionate heart would produce innovations and more progress to football not only in the Philippines but the rest of Asia as well. Thank you very much, Coco! We are proud of you!

Merdeka Cup - Third Place match- Tajikistan vs Philippines , 0-0 FT (4-3 Pk's)
Tajikistan
Bukit Jalil National Stadium
4:30 PM PHT
Philippine Men's National Football Team & Pilipinas LiveLivestream :
0-0 FT
Tajikistan win 4-3 on PKs
Chef Ref
The Philippine National Men’s Football Team (PNMFT) has the odds stacked against its favor literally days before the Merdeka Cup.
Losing its coach just a few days before competition? No problem.
Notable names begging off due to injuries? No problem. Although one of them is seen practicing with his club. But then again his club has every right not to release him.
One day training before the actual game? No problem.
The team, however, failed to anticipate a very incompetent official in its game against host Malaysia last Wednesday night at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur.
The team gave the host fits throughout the game and even got the lead courtesy of Paul Tabinas in the 27th minute. Malaysia, however, scored two more goals – the equalizer four minutes before the halftime whistle and the game winner from the spot at the 73rd minute – the rest of the game to win, 2-1 to book their spot in the finals against Lebanon. The Philippines will next face Tajikistan in the battle for third this Sunday.
The game could have a different result, however, if two fouls were called against the host after Patrick Reichelt and Sandro Reyes were brought down inside the box. The referee did not make the calls even if most of us last Wednesday saw what happened just watching the game via streaming. Heck, I even saw a Malaysian commenting “the Philippines should have had two penalties, I believe. Not good for our image.”
A friend commented also that “tournament nila ‘yan kaya lahat gagawin para manalo sila.” Another one commented that because of the win, “the official’s two-day stay at Legoland Malaysia, with packed lunch, has been secured.”
Kidding aside, the team gave the hosts a good game and could have done more if not for the questionable non-calls, but moving on. there were quite a few good spots during the game. Several players stood out, particularly Tabinas and JB Borlongan, the team’s last sub, but made an impact in the few minutes that he played. He almost made an assist with a spectacular lob to Jarvey Gayoso in the closing minutes. Gayoso, however, failed to convert the opportunity to tie the game, missing the ball by a few inches. Bjorn Martin Kristensen and Matthew Baldisimo also made their debut for the national team. For Baldisimo, it was a sorry start after a tackle that eventually resulted in a penalty kick and the winning goal for Malaysia. But then again, the referee was probably a chef in his spare time.
Credit is also due to interim coach Norman Fegidero, who despite suffering his first loss as coach of the senior team in an international competition, stood his ground and made the best of what was available to him. Good job pa rin Coach Noy!
We still have another game this coming Sunday, and I’m hoping that eventually, the team will find a way to win the game and end a five-game slide. While there are so many things that we can’t control, a victory is very important. It is also important for the team to take on the frustrations, the disappointment and the losses and use them as a motivation. I would rather have our team lose now and even in the King’s Cup next month, as long as the win streak starts in November when it matters most. Sana maubos na ang kamalasan ng team ngayon o sa October.
November is the bigger and more important story.
