Hopes though are high that the tide might finally turn.At 21, the Iloilo City native brings a wealth of experience to the national team.A UAAP champion in both high school and collegiate divisions with FEU, Mamon has also earned five international caps for the Philippines under-23 team. He’s ready to channel all that experience into tangible results on the pitch.“Each day ng training namin nag-i-improve po talaga yung team chemistry even though hindi pa po complete talaga yung team,” said the FEU standout who has seven goals so far in the Tamaraws’ UAAP Season 88 campaign. “Nandun na po yung team connection and communication.”Mamon knows that success at the SEA Games depends on how quickly players from various local and foreign teams can gel. But he also sees every experience — good or bad — as a building block for the future.“Every experience po, may it be international or local, napakalaking advantage po yun na talagang magagamit sa future games. Sa mga small wins doon po na-bi-build confidence ko maglaro,” said Mamon.The Philippine U-23 team is aiming for gold in the SEA Games, building on a strong showing earlier this year when they reached the semifinals of the ASEAN U-23 Mandiri Cup 2025, finishing fourth.Mamon&#x27;s focus is clear: turn potential into results.“Goal is to win po talaga. Hindi naman po impossible &#x27;yun. One game at a time lang,” he said.“I’ll do my best to contribute goals para sa team. Lahat ng experience and skills na I acquired, I’ll show them every game.”

For Far Eastern University striker Selwyn Mamon, the upcoming Southeast Asian Games isn’t just another tournament — it’s a stage to prove that the Philippines can finally break through in the under-23 regional competition.
