Philippine football marked a historic milestone in the 2025 Southeast Asian Games after both the men’s and women’s national teams advanced to the semifinals in Thailand.
The Filipinas clinched their spot in the women’s semifinals following a massive 6-0 victory over Malaysia on Thursday night. They are set to face regional powerhouse Thailand for a chance to reach the finals.
The men’s squad, meanwhile, secured their Final Four seat for the first time since 1991 after sweeping their two group stage games. They are awaiting the final results of the opposite bracket to determine its semifinal opponent.
Fans on social media celebrated the breakthrough, calling it a major moment for a country traditionally considered non-footballing.
Supporters praised both squads for pushing the sport to new heights on the regional stage.
