Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox international football competition The 2021 SAFF Championship, known as Ooredoo SAFF Championship 2021 for sponsorship reasons,[1] was the thirteenth edition of the SAFF Championship, the biennial international men's football championship of South Asia organised by South Asian Football Federation (SAFF). Initially, it was decided to be hosted by Pakistan in 2020, but was postponed to September 2021 in Bangladesh. However, the tournament was postponed again to October due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Maldives as host.[2][3]
Host selection
On 11 April 2018, SAFF decided to allow Pakistan to host the tournament after the restoration of Pakistan Football Federation's membership by FIFA and since then it would be country's first international football tournaments.[4][5][6] However, on 15 September 2019, SAFF president Kazi Salahuddin and general secretary Anwarul Haque Helal along with representatives of seven member countries decided to host the regional tournament in Bangladesh. This was to be the last edition to be held in even years, as it was decided that the subsequent editions would be held in odd years.[7][8]
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was postponed from its original date of 2020 to 2021,[9] and it was supposed to be held in September 2021.[10] Later, Bangladesh withdrew from hosting due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of sponsors,[11][12] after which Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli asked All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) to "initiate the process" of hosting the tournament in Nepal.[13] In July, the ANFA received an offer to host the tournament.[14][15] Meanwhile, the Football Association of Maldives submitted their bid to host the tournament.[16][17] On 9 August 2021, Maldives was declared as the hosts after an online meeting of the executive committee.[2][3]
Participating nations
The Pakistan Football Federation was sanctioned by FIFA in April 2021, hence they were ineligible to participate in the competition.[18] Bhutan initially abstained from participation as their government refused to permit the national football team to travel abroad.[19][20] However, Bhutan's withdrawal was only confirmed when the fixtures were released on 18 August 2021.[21]
