A man proudly waves a banner at a Women’s World Cup watch party in Paranaque, Metro Manila, on July 21, 2023. The event was held to celebrate the debut of the Philippine women’s football team in the tournament. Ayala Malls Manila Bay and Pioneer 300 were among the venues that hosted watch parties for local sports fans. However, One Sports experienced technical difficulties, causing some viewers to miss the prematch protocols and the first 30 minutes of the game. Fortunately, the rest of the match was shown smoothly, with Paolo del Rosario providing the play-by-play commentary and former national team player Martie Bautista offering analysis.
In another viewing option, some fans used the Fifa+ app to enjoy free broadcasts of all the Women’s World Cup matches, including the final in Sydney, Australia, which will take place next month. It was a relief for everyone to finally see the historic game after weeks of uncertainty regarding the broadcast rights. Cignal TV secured the rights, and it was only announced earlier this week that the Filipinas’ games would be available for free on TV and online. The Philippine rights were among the last to be secured by Fifa before the World Cup began last Thursday.
