Sanfida Books India's Spot In SAFF Women's Championship Final
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium: Hosts India booked their place in the final of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2026 after edging past a resilient Bhutan 1-0 in the semifinal at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Margao, Goa, on Wednesday.
The victory sets up a title clash against defending champions Bangladesh, who earlier defeated Nepal 2-1 in the first semi-final. The final will take place on June 6 at 18:30 IST.
Sanfida Nongrum scored the lone goal of India's semifinal win in the 58th minute. Head coach Crispin Chettri made two changes to the side that beat Bangladesh 3-0 in the last group stage, handing starts to Karishma Shirvoikar and Priyangka Devi Naorem in place of Pyari Xaxa and Sangita Basfore.
