India vs Maldives Live Streaming: When and where to watch SAFF Women's Championship 2026 live?

Blue Tigresses will play the Maldives in their first game on May 25th

The stage is set for the SAFF Women’s Championship 2026 as the India women’s national football team get ready to begin their campaign against the Maldives women’s national football team. India will take on the Maldives on Monday, May 25, 2026, at 7:30 PM IST at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Playing in front of home fans, the Indian women’s football team will look to put in a commanding performance and begin the tournament on a positive note. With another opportunity to lift the continental crown, the Blue Tigresses will be determined to make a strong start in their quest for a record-extending sixth SAFF Women’s Championship title.

What to expect from the clash?

The Indian Women’s Team will set their eyes on the sixth title after their decent run of form in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup; the blue Tigresses are lined up to play in the SAFF Women’s Championship.

A team filled with good players like Manisha Kalyan, Soumya Guguloth, Sangita Basfore, and Shilky Devi will have the ability to turn any game in their favour, as they will face the Maldives in their first match at home.

However, India will be without Manisha Kalyan during the group stages. Kalyan, who plies her trade in the Peruvian league with Allianz Lima, will be allowed to join during the FIFA International window on June 1st. Thus, the star forward will only be available from the semifinal onwards.

Against a side like the Maldives, which is the lowest-ranked team among all, India might look to score as many as they could to maintain the momentum when they face Bangladesh in the second match.

Meanwhile, the Maldives team are the currently the 167th-ranked nation who are here for the SAFF Women’s Championship. Against a good Indian side that played quite impressively in the AFC competitions, the game will be a tricky tie for the Maldives.
