Filipinas visit Gilas practice


Fresh from their historic 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup campaign in New Zealand, the Filipinas paid a visit to the Gilas Pilipinas’ team practice on Friday night at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.

Led by team official Belay Fernando and captain Hali Long, the Filipinas were introduced to their Gilas Men’s counterparts. They exchanged stories about their experience of competing on the world stage as underdogs against higher-ranked nations.

Star forward Sarina Bolden and starting goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel were in attendance, as well as veterans like stopper Inna Palacios and striker Chandler McDaniel.

The team also had a chance to talk to Utah’s star guard, Jordan Clarkson.
