World football governing body FIFA is exploring discussions to establish a brand-new regional tournament titled the FIFA Himalayan Cup, aimed at bringing together national teams across the Himalayan range and its neighbouring territories.
The proposed competition seeks to foster competitive international football and regional sports collaboration. Potential participating nations currently being considered include the Maldives, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Myanmar.
If realized, the tournament would create a unique platform bridging South Asian and neighbouring East and Southeast Asian footballing nations, offering valuable competitive match experience outside traditional continental qualifying windows.
Further details regarding proposed tournament dates, hosting formats, and official schedules remain subject to ongoing consultations between regional stakeholders and FIFA.
