Bangladesh will take on Nepal today in the title-deciding match of the SAFF U-20 Women’s Championship. Just one point is enough for captain Afida’s side to defend their crown.
With 5 straight wins and 15 points, Bangladesh tops the table under coach Peter Butler. They’ve scored 24 goals and conceded only 4.
While Nepal also has 12 points, they must beat Bangladesh by at least two goals to clinch the title—an unlikely feat considering Bangladesh beat them 3–2 earlier in the tournament.
Bangladesh won their first U-20 SAFF title in 2023, defeating Nepal 3–0 in the final. Now, history awaits at King’s Arena as the team eyes back-to-back triumphs.
