The Philippines qualified for their very first FIFA Women's World Cup via their 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup semifinal finish. This is the first time the country qualified for a FIFA World Cup of any gender or age level.[2] Their Asian Cup campaign was led by Australian tactician Alen Stajcic who was appointed as head coach in October 2021.[3][4] They secured their place in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup when they beat Chinese Taipei in the quarterfinals on penalties following a 1–1 draw.[5] They end their campaign with a 0–2 defeat to South Korea in the semifinal.[6]

For the 2023 World Cup group stage, the Philippines were drawn to play against co-host New Zealand, Norway, and Switzerland.[7] Among these national teams, the Philippines has only faced New Zealand in an international match recently, a 1–2 loss on September 7, 2022.[8][9][10]
