India Considers Participation in 2027 South Asian Federation Games in Pakistan
India has given in-principle consent to participate in the 2027 South Asian Federation (SAF) Games scheduled in Pakistan from April 4 to 11, 2027. The decision aligns with India's sports ministry policy, which separates multilateral sporting events from bilateral political issues. While bilateral sports ties with Pakistan remain suspended following the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, India continues to engage in multilateral tournaments under international sports bodies' guidelines. Details of the Indian contingent will be announced closer to the event.
