The competition kicks off on July 20 in New Zealand and Australia.</p><p>&quot;Surreal&quot; was how Long described the chance to see the trophy.</p><p>&quot;It didn&#x27;t feel like we were actually going to play in the World Cup. So once that felt real, they sprung another surprise that we actually get to see the World Cup [trophy],&quot; the veteran center-back said. </p><p>&quot;We can&#x27;t touch it, only the winners [can], but it&#x27;s a really cool experience to have it here in the Philippines for the first time,&quot; she added.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2485024" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div><p>Also present during Wednesday&#x27;s event were Shai del Campo, Bella Flanigan, Chantelle Maniti, and members of the Under-20 women&#x27;s team.</p><p>The Filipinas know they face tall odds in the World Cup, where they are in Group A along with host nation New Zealand, Norway, and Switzerland. Still, they believe that they can make the country proud once they step onto the field.</p><p>&quot;We don&#x27;t go there to just participate, but we can go there and make our country proud, make our family and our countrymen proud and not have this be a one-time showing at the World Cup,&quot; said Long.</p><p>The FIFA Women&#x27;s World Cup Trophy Tour will head to Vietnam on March 4-5. Like the Philippines, Vietnam is making its maiden appearance in the FIFA Women&#x27;s World Cup.</p>

The Filipinas got an opportunity to see what they will play for in July as the FIFA Women's World Cup Trophy Tour made its stop in Manila.
