The Philippines Football Federation (PFF) confirmed to send the Azkals team to be played in three friendly matches in preparation for Long Teng Cup which is held in Chinese Taipei on the end of this month. The Philippines national team will have a training camp in Bacolod City next week.

The Azkals team will take on Global FC (September 9), Central Philippine University (September 11) and a yet to be confirmed opponent on September 13.

“We expect hard training when we start our camp in Bacolod although we have already been training mornings and afternoons every day. Coach (Michael Weiss) would want us to be ready for the Long Teng Cup,” said winger Rogel Gener.

In this tournament, Philippines will play against Hongkong on September 30 before facing the host tournament Chinese Taipei on October 2, with their final round robin opponent Macau two days later.
