Philippines women's national football team

The Philippines women's national football team was formally organized after the Philippine Ladies' Football Association (PLFA) was established in 1980 by footballer Cristina Ramos, who later became a member of the team.{{cite news|last1=Trinidad|first1=Recah|title=Concerned sports figure speaks up|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=HqhjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=hiUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2093%2C19475787|access-date=April 27, 2015|publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer|date=October 12, 2001|page=26}} The Philippines took part in the 1983 Asian Women's Championship in Thailand although the tournament at the time was not sanctioned by FIFA or the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). In order for the Philippines to be eligible to participate in FIFA tournaments, the PLFA and, in extension, the women's national team would have to be an affiliate of the PFF, the Philippines' national sports association for football. The PLFA later became part of the PFF.{{cite news |title=Republic in women's World Cup? |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19830419-1.2.109?ST=1&AT=filter&DF=&DT=&AO=true&NPT=&L=&CTA=&NID=&CT=&WC=&YR=&k=philippines+football%26ka%3dphilippines+football&P=3&Display=0&filterS=0&QT=philippines,football&oref=article |access-date=November 21, 2020 |work=The Straits Times |date=April 19, 1983}}

In February 2015, PFF general secretary Ed Gastanes said that the head coach position for the women's national team was vacant after its previous holder, Ernie Nierras, was not an A license coach, meaning he was not able to continue his coaching stint.

Still under Bautista, the Philippines qualified for the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup in Jordan, the first time the national team qualified for the AFC Women's Asian Cup since a qualification phase was introduced starting from the 2006 competition; prior to the inception of qualifications, the Philippines had participated in every iteration of the tournament except for three, failing to reach the knockout stages in each participation. The team finished second in their group in the qualifiers, in which each of the group's winners qualify for the Asian Cup. Jordan won the group, but since it had already qualified as hosts of the 2018 edition of the tournament, the virtue of qualification went to the group's runners-up.{{cite web |title=Philippines qualify for the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup |url=https://www.the-afc.com/en/national/afc_womens_asian_cup/news/philippines_qualify_for_the_2018_afc_womens_asian_cup.html |publisher=Asian Football Confederation |access-date=July 22, 2022 |date=April 11, 2017}}

On July 25, 2023, in Wellington, the Filipinas won 1–0 against New Zealand, their first match victory at a FIFA Women's World Cup. Sarina Bolden scored the winning goal, which was the Philippines' first-ever goal in the competition, in the 24th minute through a header from Sara Eggesvik's cross. Goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel was awarded the player of the match for her performance in the historic win, registering numerous saves against the co-hosts and keeping a clean sheet.{{cite news |last1=Morse |first1=Ben |last2=Subramaniam |first2=Tara |last3=Maruyama |first3=Mayumi |title=The Philippines stun co-host New Zealand 1-0 to earn first ever Women's World Cup win |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/24/football/new-zealand-switzerland-norway-womens-world-cup-2023-spt-intl/index.html |access-date=July 25, 2023 |work=CNN |date=July 25, 2023}} However, the Philippines lost 6–0 in their final group match against Norway, the highest-ranked team in their group, with Alicia Barker committing an own goal, Sofia Harrison being sent off for a careless dive, and the Filipinas conceding a hat-trick to Norway's Sophie Román Haug at Eden Park in Auckland.

There was uncertainty after John Gutierrez's election as PFF president in November 2023.

The Philippines women's national football team has been known or nicknamed as the "Malditas".{{cite web |title=A National Athlete and her Happy Feet |url=https://seminarphilippines.com/2012/09/a-national-athlete-and-her-happy-feet/ |website=Seminar Philippines |access-date=October 5, 2021 |date=September 9, 2012}} There is no direct English equivalent, but translations range from a mild swear or epithet ("damned" or "accursed" ones (female)) to respect or fear ("badasses" (female)). The nickname was adopted by the team during the 2005 Southeast Asian Games under head coach Ernest Nierras. Nierras meant the moniker to reflect the players' gutsy nature and inner fight ("palaban"), a symbol of a determined team who never gives up and whom opponents fear to face.{{cite news |title=The Malditas grabbing football by the balls |url=https://www.philstar.com/lifestyle/young-star/2011/10/14/736737/lifestyle |access-date=October 5, 2021 |work=The Philippine Star |date=October 14, 2011}} However, as the term maldita could also be interpreted as "bratty", head coach Marlon Maro in October 2021 proposed discontinuing the nickname. Maro wanted to replace the nickname, believing the Malditas monicker to be pejorative.{{cite news |last1=Ramos |first1=Gerry |title=Philippine women's football team sheds 'Malditas' moniker |url=https://www.spin.ph/football/philippine-women-s-football-team-sheds-off-malditas-moniker-a793-20211005 |access-date=October 5, 2021 |work=Sports Interactive Network Philippines |date=October 5, 2021}} After Maro's departure in late 2021, the status of the proposal became unclear with members of the national team at that time preferring to keep the nickname.{{cite news |title=PH team keeping Malditas moniker |url=https://manilastandard.net/mobile/article/368934 |access-date=November 12, 2021 |work=Manila Standard |date=November 2, 2021 |language=en}}

In March 2022, the PFF announced that they would be officially adopting the nickname "Filipinas" for the team.{{cite news |last1=Terrado |first1=Reuben |title=Call us Filipinas: PWNT officially sheds Malditas moniker |url=https://www.spin.ph/football/pwnt-officially-switches-name-from-malditas-to-filipinas-a795-20220331 |access-date=April 2, 2022 |work=Sports Interactive Network Philippines |date=April 1, 2022 |language=en}} The moniker had been used before, as the demonym for female people of the Philippines. Team manager Jefferson Cheng reasoned that Malditas is a swear word in Spanish and Portuguese which translates to "damned", but the derivative word has a bit more of a pejorative meaning in Tagalog and, despite its uniqueness, one could imagine it to be "problematic" having to repeatedly explain its meaning. Cheng also said that the Filipinas moniker is a standalone and is not meant to be preceded by a modifier (e.g. Philippine Filipinas).{{cite news |last1=Fenix |first1=Ryan |title=What's in a name?
