SAFF Women’s C'ship 2026: Blue Tigresses Face Rivals Bangladesh In Battle For Group B Supremacy

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium: Though both sides are assured of their places in the knock-out stage, there will be no shortage of intensity when hosts India face Bangladesh in their last Group B match of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2026 at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Margao, Goa, on Sunday.

With the Maldives, the third side in the group, losing both of its matches and crashing out of the tournament, India and Bangladesh have already qualified for the last four. Sunday's clash will therefore determine the Group B winners and could provide a significant psychological edge heading into the knockout rounds.

India sit atop the group after an emphatic 11-0 victory over Maldives on Monday, while Bangladesh opened their campaign with a 4-2 win over the same opponents on Thursday. The hosts' superior goal difference means a draw would be enough to ensure they finish first in the group and set up a semifinal meeting with Group A runners-up, who will be determined after Nepal's result against Sri Lanka in the earlier kick-off on Sunday. Should Nepal avoid defeat, they will end up topping Group A and face the runners-up of Group B.
