A 12 year old girl from Payatas, one of the poorest areas of Manila, has been selected to attend the training camp for the U14 women’s National Team. Ahead of the U14 AFC Cup later this year, Angelica Sagum is one of thirty two girls scouted from all over the country who have made the penultimate cut for the women’s U14 team. These 32 girls are now training together as part of the camp, where coaches will decide the final squad to be taken to Vietnam for the U14 Girls Regional Championship.
