FROM A VILLARREAL PLAYER TO REPRESENTING THE PHILIPPINES ON ASIA’S BIGGEST STAGE. 🇵🇭💛⚽️
This is more than a selection. It is another chapter in Anaiah Sotto’s journey.
Anaiah has been part of the Villarreal family, growing through our training environment, embracing our methodology and continuing to challenge herself to become a better player.
Her journey began years ago with Arayat Athletics Academy, where she was already competing on the international youth stage. From those early experiences to her continued development with Villarreal, Anaiah has continued to take every opportunity to learn, compete and grow.
Today, she takes another important step forward — representing the Philippines—Their women’s club won the championship at the recently concluded PFF Women’s League, hence to represent the Philippines at the continental stage— the AFC Women’s Champions League in Kyrgyzstan. 🇰🇬
For Villarreal, this is what player development is about.
It is not simply about where a player is today, but about supporting their journey, building their foundations, and helping them reach the next level when the opportunity comes.
Anaiah, we are incredibly proud to see you wearing the national colours. Carry the Villarreal badge with you, represent the Philippines with pride, and keep showing what you are capable of.
From the Villarreal pitch to the continental stage. Keep going, Anaiah. 💛💙🇵🇭
The entire Villarreal family is behind you! 👏🔥
