SAFF Women Club C’ship in December

🚨The South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) will host the first-ever SAFF Women’s Club Championship from 5–20 December 2025 in Nepal. The tournament will feature five leading clubs from the region:

Nasrin Sports Academy (Bangladesh)
Transport United Ladies FC (Bhutan)
East Bengal FC (India)
APF Football Club (Nepal)
Karachi City Football Club (Pakistan).

This marks a historic moment for Pakistani women’s football, as Karachi City FC becomes the first club from the country to compete at this level. Their participation highlights Pakistan’s growing presence in regional women’s football and provides local players with the opportunity to showcase their talent on an international stage.

This championship marks a historic milestone—not only for South Asia but also across the five Regional Associations of Asia—as SAFF becomes the first to organize a women’s club competition at this level.

“This is a historic competition, as SAFF will be the first Regional Association to host a women’s club championship among the five Regional Associations of Asia,” said SAFF General Secretary Purushottam Kattel, adding. “The recent progress of women’s national teams in South Asia is very encouraging. Member Associations like Bangladesh and India are reaching the finals of AFC competitions, while others have shown strong performances in AFC qualifiers. Through this championship, we aim to provide a more competitive environment for our Member Associations and celebrate the growing success of women’s football in the region. We hope the two weeks in Kathmandu will be a true celebration of that progress.”

The tournament will follow a league-cum-knockout format, with the top two teams advancing to the final.
