Team News

Philippines
Switzerland
  • There are no reported injuries.
  • The likes of Sara Eggesvik and Jaclyn Sawicki were brought into the team by coach Alen Stajcic despite being born in Norway and Canada, respectively. They both qualify for the team through their mothers.
  • There are no reported injuries.
  • Ana-Maria Crnogorčević holds both records for most caps and most goals for Switzerland, and will be looking to add to both tallies.

Prediction

  • Group A will be rounded out by debutants Philippines and Switzerland. Coach Alen Stajcic was hired to take the Philippines team to the next level, having previously coached Australia. He added eligible players in Sara Eggesvik and Jaclyn Sawicki to the experienced squad and was rewarded with qualification for the World Cup after making it to the semi-finals of the 2022 AFC Asian Cup.
  • Switzerland, on the other hand, failed to qualify for the World Cup in 2019 and exited at the group stage at Euro 2022 so they will looking for an upturn in form tournament wise.
  • Neither side have faced one another, so this match is a complete unknown for both sides with forms differing. Switzerland will likely be favoured as they are more well known but the Philippines could maybe pull off a surprise and grab a point.
