xCruzo Brief
The SAFF Men’s Championship will be held in Bangladesh from November 4-17, after the tournament draw was conducted on Saturday in Thimphu, Bhutan. Bangladesh, the host, was placed in Group A alongside Bhutan and Sri Lanka. Nepal’s participation depends on whether its ban is lifted by September; if it’s allowed, Nepal will join Group A. Group A’s top two teams will advance to the semi-finals, while Group B features India, Pakistan, and Maldives—putting India and Pakistan in the same group as arch-rivals. Bangladesh last won SAFF in 2003 and reached the semi-finals in 2023 after a 14-year gap.
