Stallion Laguna FC leads PFF Women's League
Women's football in the Philippines faces challenges due to limited opportunities for players to showcase their skills.
Olivia McDaniel, a standout goalkeeper for both the national team and Stallion Laguna FC, exemplifies dedication despite a demanding schedule, leading her club team to victory over Capital1 with a 1-0 win at Mall of Asia Football Pitch.
The PFF Women's League provides female players like Yasmin Elauria an opportunity to compete professionally after graduation, which was not previously available.
McDaniel emphasizes gratitude for her position and acknowledges that many would aspire to be where she is, despite physical exhaustion from playing three games in eight days.
With nine points from three games, Stallion Laguna FC maintains the tournament lead while Capital1 sits at six points with Yasmin Elauria's Solar Strikers tied with University of the Philippines for third place.
