The South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) since its inception has been relentlessly putting all its effort in developing football in the region. Be it through staging various competitions in different categories or enhancing the potentials of its stakeholders by holding educational programmes, the SAFF is forever committed to grow our beloved sport in the South Asian region.
With this stern belief, the SAFF had decided to stage the prestigious SAFF Championship in a home or away format this year. Preparations had been made accordingly. However, SAFF, our Member Associations and SportFive felt that more arrangement needed to be in place to deliver the competition in a smooth manner.
Therefore, we have come to a decision to postpone the SAFF Championship to 2026 so that all our stakeholders and member associations have adequate time to organize the championship in a grand manner.
With 2026 being a FIFA World Cup year, enough attention has to be given to find an appropriate timeline and venue for the SAFF Championship.
We urge all our stakeholders, fans, media and the member associations to bear with us so that the prestigious event will be organized flawlessly.
