The 'Filipinas,' the Philippine women's football team, paid a visit to observe the team practice session of the Gilas Pilipinas national men's basketball team.

After their memorable participation in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in New Zealand, the Filipino women footballers were introduced in person to the players of the Gilas men's team, creating a personal connection between the two national teams and fostering unity among athletes in different sports.

Among the attendees at the practice were some notable players including star forward Sarina Bolden, starting goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel, stopper Inna Palacios, and striker Chandler McDaniel.

The Philippine Women’s National Football Team themselves shared photos on their official Facebook page, providing visual evidence of their visit during the preparations of Gilas Pilipinas for the upcoming 2023 FIBA World Cup set to commence in the country on August 25.
