The SAFF Championship 2026 is almost done with the group-stage fixtures, with defending champion India taking on Maldives, while Bangladesh takes on Sri Lanka on Wednesday.
India won the last edition of the SAFF Championship, beating Kuwait on penalties, and is looking to secure its record-extending 10th title, this time in Dhaka. The Blue Tigers are drawn in Group B, alongside Pakistan and the Maldives, while host Bangladesh is in Group A, with Sri Lanka and Bhutan.
Group A points table
| Position | Team | Played | Wins | Draws | Losses | GD | Points |
| 1. | Bangladesh (Q) | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | +1 | 3 |
| 2. | Sri Lanka | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 3. | Bhutan | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | -1 | 1 |
Group B points table
| Position | Team | Played | Wins | Draws | Losses | GD | Points |
| 1. | Pakistan (Q) | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | +2 | 3 |
| 2. | India | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | +1 | 3 |
| 3. | Maldives | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | -3 | 0 |
The top two teams from each group will qualify for the semifinals of the tournament. Pakistan, having beaten Maldives 3-0 in its previous match, has qualified for the knockouts for the first time in eight years.
Meanwhile, the host, having already earned a spot in the semis, will look to maintain its perfect record in the tournament on home soil.
