THE Philippines is sending three teams to the Touch World Cup 2024 slated July 15 to 21 at the University of Nottingham in England.
The country has sent teams to two previous worlds with the mixed open team finishing 9th and women’s open team 12th in the 2015 edition held in Coffs Harbour, Australia; and men’s open squad placing sixth and women’s open 15th in the 2019 Putrajaya, Malaysia. “The World Cup is the highest level of competition for the sport and everybody playing the sport is aiming to play in the event which is held every four years,” said Carl Majabague during Tuesday’s Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum held at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
With high hopes for the worlds, TAP is looking to boost the popularity of the sport in the country and eventually become a member of the Philippine Olympic Committee.
