The SAFF U-15/U-16/U-17 Women's Championship is association football tournament for women's national teams under the age of 15. The tournament is organized by South Asian Football Federation (SAFF).
History
The tournament began in 2017 and is hosted every other year. For 2021, the decision was made to make the tournament a U-16 tournament versus the previous three iterations which had been U-15. However, the tournament was ultimately postponed.[1] Later, Bangladesh was declared to be the host of the 4th edition, which is going to take place in U-15 format on late 2022.[citation needed]
