The Azkals are to see action next month in the joint 2022 International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) World Cup and 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup qualifiers in Suzhou, China, which will mark their return to the field after the forced long break they had because of the pandemic.
