Philippines to face China and both Koreas in Olympic qualifiers
The Filipinas begin their qualifying campaign in April 2027, with the group’s top side securing a place at the Los Angeles Games.
The Philippines will start its bid for a place at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics in April 2027, facing a qualifying group comprising China, North Korea and South Korea.
A first-place finish would send the Filipinas to Los Angeles through the Women’s Football AFC Qualifiers. The two best runners-up will enter a playoff series, whose winner will then face Argentina, the CONMEBOL representative.
North Korea will be the Philippines’ opening opponent, with China next on the schedule in April. The Filipinas will play South Korea twice in October, before meeting North Korea and China again during the window running from late November to early December.
Japan and Australia are in the other qualifying group, alongside Chinese Taipei and Uzbekistan. The Olympic qualifying campaign is not the Filipinas’ only international commitment in 2027: the team will also take part in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in July.
