A media availability was actually scheduled on Thursday but has been moved to Friday after their morning training, according to Fifa.
Head coach Alen Stajcic described the Norway match as a “monumental task” to win as they will be facing a team that is ranked No. 12 in the world and being led by Ada Hegerberg, the first-ever winner of the Ballon d’Or Feminin, an award given by French weekly magazine France Football for the best female player for the season.
Filipinas striker Sarina Bolden scored the Philippines’ first goal in the Fifa Women’s World Cup during their 1-0 win, and she is determined to help the team build more achievements in the tournament.
