MANILA, Philippines — Big-time football is coming to the Philippines as the country prepares to host the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Women's Championship in 2020. "It is a great honor for PFF to host the upcoming AFF Women's Championship 2020," PFF President Mariano Araneta Jr. said in a statement. "Women's football has been in the limelight due to the success of the Philippine Women's National Team. This will be a perfect opportunity for local fans to watch and support the Philippine Women's team as they fight for regional pride," he added.
