Bangladesh claimed their second successive SAFF Women’s Championship title, defeating Nepal 2-1 in the final on Wednesday at the sold-out Dasharath Stadium. The victory saw Bangladesh retain their crown after a hard-fought match that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
The first half ended in a goalless stalemate, but the match came to life in the second half. Bangladesh took the lead in the 53rd minute through Monika Chamka’s well-taken strike. However, Nepal responded just two minutes later, with Amisha Karki slotting home the equalizer to restore hope for the home crowd.
The game seemed poised for penalties, but in the 81st minute, Ritu Porna Chakma stunned the stadium by scoring the winner for Bangladesh, silencing the supporters of Nepal and securing her team’s victory.
Ritu Porna Chakma was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament for her outstanding performances throughout the competition. Bangladesh goalkeeper Rupna Chakma earned the Best Goalkeeper award, while Bhutan’s Deki Lhazom was the tournament’s highest scorer, having netted nine goals. Bhutan also received the Fair Play Award for their exemplary conduct throughout the tournament.
In the closing ceremony, prizes were handed out by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Urban Development Prakash Man Singh, Youth and Sports Minister Teju Lal Chaudhary, National Sports Council Member Secretary Tanka Lal Ghising, and ANFA President Pankaj Bikram Nembang.

Nepal triumphed over India 4-2 in a dramatic penalty shootout to secure a place in the final of the 2024 SAFF Women’s Championship, where they will face Bangladesh for the title. The final will be a repeat of the 2022 SAFF Women’s Championship, where Nepal lost 3-1 to Bangladesh.
The semi-final was an intense and hard-fought affair, lasting nearly three hours. Nepal found themselves down to 10 players after Rekha Poudel was shown a second yellow card in the 51st minute, which she vehemently protested, believing the decision was incorrect. Just moments later, India took the lead through a brilliant strike by Sangita Basfore in the 62nd minute. However, as India celebrated, Nepal’s Preeti Rai seized on a loose ball and scored into an open net. Replays showed the match official had blown the whistle for a restart, and Rai's goal was controversially ruled out, sparking protests from the Nepali players and fans.
The match was disrupted for over an hour as the situation was resolved. Once play resumed, Nepal quickly responded, with Sabitra Bhandari scoring the equalizer in the 66th minute, sending the match into extra time.
Nepal’s substitute goalkeeper, Anjana Rana Magar saved two spot kicks from India's Ashalata Devi Loitongbam and Chanu Sorokhaibam. Sabitra Bhandari, Gita Rana, Sabita Rana Magar, and Amisha Karki all converted their penalties confidently, securing Nepal’s 4-2 win in the shootout.
In the other semi-final, Bangladesh defeated Bhutan 7-1 to reach their second consecutive final. Nepal will now face the defending champions, Bangladesh, in a highly anticipated final on Wednesday.
