The Philippine SIBOL Honor of Kings team opened its campaign in the 2026 Asian Games Qualifiers with a dominant 2-0 sweep of Pakistan on Saturday in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
The victory put the Filipinos in a share of the Group A lead with Indonesia, which also swept Mongolia on the opening day.
Led by standout performances from Justine Tan and Dragon Dajao, SIBOL overwhelmed Pakistan in both games, including a flawless 13-0 victory in the second match.
Head coach Gerald Gelacio welcomed the strong start but urged his players to remain focused and avoid underestimating their opponents.
The Philippines will face Mongolia next, with a chance to take sole possession of the top spot in Group A and strengthen its bid for an Asian Games berth.
