Key Points

• A Family Bonded by Football: Influenced by her husband and son’s passion for the sport, Ahna has made it a family bonding to follow the "Filipinas," including their previous match against the Matildas in Perth.
• Total Match Preparation: Demonstrating her dedication, Ahna filed for work leave as early as January and secured tickets in December to ensure they could watch the game live in the Gold Coast at 1:00 PM this March 5.
• Heart for the Team: Although she will miss the next match against Iran on March 8 due to her son Emilio’s own soccer game, Ahna remains proud of the skill and heart the national team continues to display.
