Nepal’s women’s football team will take on Sri Lanka today in the final group stage match of the Women’s SAFF Championship 2024. The match is set to kick off at 5:30 PM and will be broadcast live on Kantipur HD platforms, including YouTube and TV.
Nepal enters this match undefeated in the group stage, having played a goalless draw against Bhutan and an impressive 11-0 victory over the Maldives. For Nepal, a draw will be enough to secure a spot in the semi-finals, but Sri Lanka faces a must-win scenario. The Sri Lankan team comes into the match with mixed results, having defeated the Maldives 1-0 but suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to Bhutan.
This will be the sixth time Nepal and Sri Lanka have faced each other in this tournament, and history is in Nepal’s favor. In the previous five encounters, Nepal won all matches, scoring a total of 17 goals without conceding a single one. The Nepalese team will be looking to continue this dominant run, while Sri Lanka will be eager to break their losing streak.
In another match today, Bhutan will play against the Maldives. Both Nepal and Bhutan are still in contention to top the group, which adds to the excitement. If Nepal wins and tops Group A, they will face India in the semi-final. However, if they finish as runners-up, their semi-final opponent will be defending champions Bangladesh.
Bangladesh and India have already secured their places in the semi-finals from Group A, making the stakes high for today’s games as teams fight for a chance to advance.
