The 2022 SAFF U-17 Championship was the seventh edition of the SAFF U-17 Championship, an international football competition for men's under-17 national teams organized by South Asian Football Federation (SAFF). The tournament took place in Sri Lanka from September 5 to 14, 2022. Six teams from the region took part.[2]

India is the defending champion. They have won previous season title by beating Nepal 7−0 on 31 August 2019.[3]

Participating teams

[edit | edit source]

FIFA suspended Pakistan Football Federation on 7 April 2021,[4] but eventually withdrew the ban, yet they could not participate in the competition as it was too late for them to be ready.[5]
