The Philippine Football Federation has unveiled a 24-man squad for the ASEAN Hyundai Cup 2026, highlighting a youthful roster anchored by a mix of overseas-based talent and emerging prospects.
The lineup includes 10 players currently playing abroad and 11 under the age of 23, signaling a generational shift as the Philippines looks to build toward future regional competitions.
Veteran goalkeeper Patrick Deyto headlines the squad alongside Quincy Kammeraad and Enrico Mangaoang. The defensive unit features a blend of experience and youth, including Daisuke Sato and Italy-based Christian Rontini, as well as teenage prospect Santiago Rublico.
In midfield, the Philippines will rely on Oskari Kekkonen and Sandro Reyes, joined by several young standouts such as Javier Mariona and Cole Mrowka.
The attacking corps includes Jarvey Gayoso, Andre Leipold and Croatian league-based Pocholo Bugas, along with teenage forwards Aarran Long and Rocket Ritarita.
The tournament will see the Philippines open its campaign at home against Myanmar on July 28 at New Clark City Stadium.
The team will then travel to face Laos on Aug. 1 before returning home to host Thailand on Aug. 4. The group stage concludes with an away match against Malaysia on Aug. 8 in Kuala Lumpur.
The federation said the squad reflects its commitment to developing young players while remaining competitive in the region.
The Philippines is aiming for a strong showing in the biennial Southeast Asian tournament as it continues its rebuild with a new generation of national team players.
