India U17 Women Triumph in SAFF U19 Championship with 4-0 Victory Over Bangladesh | Sports-Games

India's U17 team won the SAFF U19 Women's Championship final 4-0 against defending champions Bangladesh U19, using superior tactics and capitalizing on opponent errors, AIFF said.

  • In Pokhara, the Young Tigresses defeated Bangladesh U-19s 4-0 to win the SAFF U19 Women's Championship on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
  • India had sent their U-17 women's national team to the SAFF U19 Women's Championship to prepare for the AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup later this year, despite being written off by some observers.
  • Julan Nongmaithem opened the scoring in the 42nd minute after Pritika Barman set her up, Elizabed Lakra scored a 63rd-minute penalty, Pearl Fernandes scored from a goalkeeper error, and Anwita Raghuraman finished in the 83rd.
  • The outcome has immediate regional significance, as the win allowed India U-17 women's team to avenge an earlier 0-2 defeat to Bangladesh U-19s, a notable setback for the defending champions.
  • Both teams head next to the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026 later this year, with Bangladesh facing China on March 3 and India meeting Vietnam on March 4.
