The Philippine national curling team is aiming to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy after recently securing a historic gold medal at the 2025 Asian Winter Games in China.

Team member Alan Frei stated that their "only goal right now" is to reach the Olympics and that they will train rigorously to achieve it.

The Filipino curlers, including Marc and Enrico Pfister, Christian Haller, and team president Benjo Delarmente, defeated South Korea, Japan, and China to win their first-ever Asiad winter gold.
