Laguna’s Biñan City Football Stadium, which was built in 2015, is the home stadium of the Philippine women’s national football team and was venue of the Malditas’ first game against Myanmar last Tuesday which ended in a 0-0 draw.

Its 3,000-seating capacity is spacious enough that spectators aren’t close to each other.

Part of Biñan facility’s top-class distinction can be attributed to ESports International, the company that built the track at New Clark City.

The football field itself is rated Fifa 2-star based on Kiwa ISA Sport B.V’s, a Fifa-accredited testing institute—assessment.

A massive LED scoreboard, 12 meters by nine meters, is also positioned behind one of the goals.

Biñan also came prepared in terms of the athletes’ nutrition needs.
