The SAFF Women's Futsal Championship is a futsal competition for the women's national teams of South Asia, organised by the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF).

History

The creation of a SAFF Women's Futsal Championship was first confirmed by SAFF officials in May 2025, with all member associations notified of the plan. The competition is intended to provide greater exposure for South Asian women's futsal teams, who until now have only competed in continental tournaments under the AFC.

Prior to this initiative, SAFF members participated sporadically in AFC futsal competitions, often with limited success.
