Pakistan Withdraw From SAFF Women's Championship In India
South Asian Football Federation: Pakistan national football has officially withdrawn from the 2026 SAFF Women’s Championship amid the worsening relations between the two nations, the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) said on Thursday.
The decision, rooted in the persistent political tensions between India and Pakistan, leaves the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) to move forward with a reduced six-team lineup for the tournament scheduled to take place at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Margao, Goa, from May 25 to June 6.
This will mark the second time India will host the SAFF Women's Championship, after the 2016 edition in Siliguri, West Bengal, where India won their fourth title. It will also be the second time that Goa will stage a SAFF tournament. The men's championship of 1999 was also held at the PJN Stadium, where India won the title, defeating Bangladesh in the final.
