The SAFF Championship has witnessed 13 editions, with India emerging victorious on eight occasions. Team India are in their ninth consecutive Bangabandhu SAFF Championship final. The aim will now be to defend their title.
This edition of the SAFF Championship has been marked by intense competition and dynamic performances. Some on-field antics too have made it one of the most captivating tournaments. In the semi-final clash against Lebanon, India survived 4-2 in a penalty shootout.
On the other hand, Kuwait, the other guest team, narrowly defeated Bangladesh 1-0 in extra time. India and Kuwait had already faced each other in the group stage. It resulted in a thrilling but somewhat disappointing 1-1 draw. A late own goal denied India victory and the top spot in Group A.

Head coach Igor Stimac was sent off during the intense encounter, subsequently receiving a two-match ban. As a result, assistant coach Mahesh Gawali will assume the managerial duties on the touchline, just as he did in the semi-final.
India will be without the services of striker Rahim Ali, who is suspended. Sunil Chhetri, the Indian team’s captain, has been in terrific form, scoring five goals in four matches, including a spectacular hat-trick against their arch-rivals, Pakistan. In addition, defender Sandesh Jinghan, who missed the semi-final against Lebanon due to suspension, is expected to return, bolstering India’s defence ahead of the SAFF final.
