“The girls are in high spirits and I am confident they will perform well in this competition. They’ve been preparing non-stop in the past months and we in the Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines (ASAPHIL) have ensured that they get the best possible preparations for this Asia Cup,” said ASAPHIL President Jean Henri Lhuillier.

“We are ready! It’s time to show the world what we have been practicing for and I’m confident the girls will deliver. The goal is a podium finish and get one for the World Cup slots,” said RP Blu Girls Coach Randy Dizer.

Nine participating teams namely World number 2 Japan, number 3 Chinese Taipei, Number 13 China, Number 30 Philippines, Number 35 Korea, number 38 Hong Kong, Number 42 Singapore, Number 46 Thailand, and Number 53 India are competing for the continental title and three available tickets to the XVII WBSC Women’s Softball World Cup which will take place in July in Europe.
