The photoshoot suggests that the Filipinas will open their World Cup campaign sporting their blue kits against Switzerland on Friday in Dunedin.

Quinley Quezada also did the same thing as Frilles, though in a uniform when she was six years old, saying: “6 yr old Q would be so proud of how far we’ve come.”

The team also has red and white kits which were produced by Adidas, which agreed to outfit the Filipinas for Fifa’s biggest showpiece for women.
