MANILA (30 March 2019) – They might not have played any matches during the recent FIFA dates but their sojourn in Bangkok has done wonders for the Philippines national side as they gear up for several upcoming tournaments.
Philippines national coach Scott Cooper had hailed the camp in Bangkok as ‘massive success.’
“The camp has been a massive success,” said Cooper to the Inquirer.
“In a way, we were able to take a look at 15 players that we can tap for the future Under-23, Under-22 and SEA Games and the senior team.
“But, of course, nobody has been ruled out for selection and we’re just following a careful plan that we’ve got to have the team ready for FIFA World Cup qualifiers in September and also the SEA Games.”
Among the players who were invited for the camp were long-time prospect Michael Kempter, Enrique Linares, Diego Bardanca and Jose Carillo.
Kempter plays in the Swiss League.
