Venues

The men's tournament is primarily held in the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila. Individual seats and roofing were installed in the spectator's area outside the main grandstand for the Manila stadium.^[1] The Biñan Football Stadium in Biñan, Laguna, which hosted select men's football group matches, was the main venue for the women's tournament's group stage,^[2] with the latter matches played at Manila as well.

Aside from the two venues, the University of Makati Stadium as well as the pitches at the University of the Philippines, Far Eastern University Diliman, and Carmona are also designated as practice venues for the participating teams.^[1]

All venues used artificial turfs which caused a lot of injuries for football players during the tournaments.^[3]^[4]^[5]
