This is a Puma Philippines national team 2024-25 home jersey featuring the name and number of star midfielder Sandro Reyes.

The Philippines national team has been active since their first international match in 1913 and was initially one of the stronger teams in Asia, led by Barcelona legend Paulino Alcántara, who is arguably the greatest-ever Filipino footballer. Despite joining FIFA in 1930, the Philippines have never qualified for a FIFA World Cup. Basketball is by far the most popular sport in the country and football has often been plagued by a lack of development and fan support, although there have been major improvements over the past decade. After reaching an all-time low FIFA ranking of 195 in October 2006, the Philippine Football Federation looked to improve the national team by calling upon the vast number of footballers with Filipino heritage playing abroad. This strategy quickly led to unprecedented success for the team, which secured qualification for their maiden AFC Asian Cup appearance in 2019. Despite losing all 3 group stage matches at the tournament, the team played well in a tough group and will look to continue their development over the coming years.

Sandro Reyes is one of the leading players in the promising young generation of Filipino footballers, with the 21-year-old having already established himself as a key part of the national team squad. Reyes is one of the few footballers to emerge from the domestic league in the Philippines and make the move to Europe. He made his senior club debut in 2021 with the Azkals Development Team and then joined local giants Kaya F.C.–Iloilo the following season. After impressing at club and national team level, Reyes moved to Germany in January 2023 and signed with Greuther Fürth II in the fourth tier. He quickly became a regular stater at the club and remained there for 1 ½ seasons before joining fellow fourth tier German Regionalliga club FC Gütersloh in August 2024. At international level, Reyes has been prolific since making his debut for the Philippines in 2021. He has since scored 3 goals in 22 matches for the national team and was the star player for the Philippines in their memorable 2024 ASEAN Championship campaign.
