We believe in the depth of our squad and we&#x27;re ready to showcase it.&quot;The Filipinas were drawn into Group B along with Myanmar, Australia U-23, and Timor-Leste. They open their campaign on August 7 against Timor-Leste, followed by the match against Australia U023 on August 10, and Myanmar on August 13.Only the top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout semifinals.
