Philippine Women`s football league ?

Women footballers in the Philippines came one step closer to being in a league of their own.
In a letter dated May 11, FIFA expressed its support for the Philippine Football Federation�s plan to establish a women�s league in the country.
The international football body pledged to provide help the PFF in the initial phase of setting up the league, which includes the development of a national championship plan and the set up of a league structure through one of FIFA�s Women�s Football Consultants.
FIFA also asked the PFF to provide additional information to be able to avail of equipment and financial support, stressing that the league �should be a yearly/on-going initiative and not a one-off event.�
The development came as welcome news for proponents of women�s football in the country.
�Another impossibility made possible,� wrote Ernie Nierras, coach of the Philippine national women�s football team, the Malditas, on his Twitter account.
Belay Fernando, a defender for the Malditas, wrote an essay last January arguing for the establishment of women�s football league in the Philippines.
�I say it�s our turn to get out there on the pitch. And it�s our turn to inspire the little girls watching on the sidelines into getting into the sport we�ve loved for a long time now. Women�s football surely is a different pace from the men�s, but is the same game full of passion and heart. A game that we can now say will truly capture the hearts of all Filipinos,� she wrote.
