Manila, JUNE 23 (Sugod.com) – Rizal memorial football stadium has emerged as the top choice to host the World Cup qualifier between Kuwait and Philippines IF ever the national team managed to go past Sri Lanka on July 3 according to an article by Rick Olivares.
The home match for the second round of the AFC 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers will be played on July 28, 2011, less than a month after the first round winners are declared, and rizal memorial football stadium will be ready by then.
A successful hosting of the international event could paved way to establishing rizal memorial football stadium as the ‘true’ home of the Philippines national football team.
Prior to these matches, Panaad Stadium in Bacolod city has been considered a home to many international matches of the national team but federation officials chose the stadium in Manila as the ‘home’ for their FIFA World Cup campaign.
Rizal memorial football stadium last hosted an international football match in the 1991 Southeast Asian Games when the Philippines achieved a fourth place finish after losing 2-6 to Thailand and 2-nil to Singapore in the semi-finals and third place play-off respectively.
It will be almost 20 years until the RMFS will host another soon-to-be successful international football event. Source
