Bangladesh clinched the SAFF Under-20 Championship title after a dramatic final against India in Malé, Maldives. The match ended goalless in regulation time, leading to a tense penalty shootout where Bangladesh triumphed 4–3.

Throughout the match, Bangladesh showed early dominance in possession and attack, though India increased pressure in the second half. Despite several counterattacks, neither side could score in open play. Declan Sullivan’s introduction added pace to Bangladesh’s offense, but missed chances kept the score level. The Malé Stadium crowd featured strong support from expatriate Bangladeshis, adding to the charged atmosphere.
With this win, Bangladesh reclaimed the SAFF Under-20 title, demonstrating resilience under pressure and tactical discipline against a familiar rival.
