“Ever since I was included in the 23 for 2023 list back in 2018, playing in the World Cup has been the dream,” said Dwight Ramos. “Everything I’ve done as a player, all the work I’ve put in, leads to that moment.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of playing at the Philippine Arena for Ginebra with more than 50,000 fans, and it was unbelievable,” said Jamie Malonzo. “I don’t think having the World Cup at home again will happen in our lifetime, so I hope the fans come out and support us.
