The 2026 SAFF Futsal Championship was the inaugural edition of the SAFF Futsal Championship, the biennial international futsal championship organised by the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) for the men's national teams of South Asia region countries. The tournament was played in Bangkok, Thailand from 14 to 26 January 2026.
The championship will be accompanied by capacity-building courses for coaches and referees, aimed at strengthening the foundation of futsal in the region.
SAFF General Secretary, Purushottam Kattel, stated that Thailand was selected for its infrastructure, accessibility, and the limited futsal experience among member nations. He noted that potential IndiaâÂÂPakistan complications were also a factor in the decision.
All the seven member states made their debut in the inaugural edition.
The following squads were announced for the tournament.
