Training sa morning, gym sa hapon — &#x27;yung pagod namin sobrang worth it.”What made Rebosura’s happy ending even more remarkable was that she had spent time away from her FEU teammates while preparing in Spain with the Philippine Women’s National Futsal Team for the 2025 FIFA Women’s Futsal World Cup.Moreover, the night before the UAAP final, her name was confirmed among the 14 players who would represent the country in the inaugural World Cup edition on home soil. She initially struggled to compose herself, but ultimately focused on making up for lost time.“Para sa &#x27;kin, &#x27;yung second half medyo nag-a-adjust ako,” said the newly crowned four-time champion. “Medyo kinakabahan kasi galing po ako Spain. Mahirap mag-adjust. Alam ko sa sarili ko kaya ko pa and then pinangako ko sa mga teammates and mga coaches ko na kaya kong bumawi.”Rebosura’s journey has been remarkable; she could not have imagined that kicking a ball on a simple court would be the first step toward four UAAP championships, crucial goals across three finals, and two individual awards.Yet, there could be no greater validation of her versatility, hard work, and talent than her inclusion as the only collegiate player in the final Filipina5 squad for the World Cup.The Filipina5 are grouped with Poland (November 21), Morocco (November 24), and Argentina (November 27), with the top two teams in each of the four pools advancing to the knockout stage.As an underdog throughout her life, Rebosura hopes the nationals will surprise their opponents.She is now calling on local fans to rally behind her and her teammates as they prepare for a historic homecourt debut.“&#x27;Yun po lumabas na po &#x27;yung final 14,” she said. “Kasama po ako sa list na maglalaro po sa World Cup. Suportahan niyo po kami maglaro from November 21. Dito po gaganapin.”
