MANILA, Philippines – After a bridesmaid finish in the recently concluded Philippine Football Federation (PFF) Peace Cup, the Azkals still continue to be the top ranked football squad in Southeast Asia.
The Philippine national football team, fresh off a tough 2-3 loss against Myanmar on September 6, has managed to stay on top of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) rankings, edging Vietnam, who took the number 2 spot and Myanmar, Southeast Asia’s number 3.
