Our boys gave 100% on the pitch, showing grit and determination as China pushed hard to score big. The first half was a true testament to their fight — holding the hosts to just 1-0 at halftime in front of nearly 31,000 fans. Every tackle, every clearance, and every ounce of effort was fueled by the pride of representing the Marianas.
Though the final scoreline didn’t go our way, this performance proved our growth, resilience, and spirit. These moments are stepping stones, and every match brings us closer to where we want to be.
To all our supporters back home and across the NMI — thank you for your continuous encouragement. 
Your belief in us means everything and pushes us to keep fighting with heart and unity on the international stage.
Biba NMI!
