SAFF U-17 Championship cancelled due to financial constraints

The South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) has decided to cancel this year's SAFF U-17 Championship due to financial constraints and a transition in its marketing partnership. This decision deprives regional youth teams of a crucial competitive platform ahead of the AFC qualifiers, though SAFF has since signed a new agreement with a Bangladeshi firm in an effort to stabilize its financial position.
