The saff

Midfielder Anju Tamang: Head coach Santosh Kashyap said that the team is ready to come out stronger after the India lost 3-1 to Bangladesh in a crucial group-stage match of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2024 at the Dasharath Stadium.

Supporters filled opposite ends of the stadium, creating an electric backdrop for the high-stake clash. But as the final whistle blew, it was only the Bangladesh fans, who were left applauding their team’s 3-1 victory.

The scenes were similar to those of the 2022 SAFF Women’s Championship, where India suffered a 3-0 defeat to Bangladesh.
