In the final India beat Nepal for the third time and remains the only nation to lift the title. Indian player Ng Bala Devi won the top-scorer award averaging over three goals per match.

Host selection

On 10 September 2013, SAFF executive committee decided that 3rd SAFF Women's championship will be held in Pakistan.

Venue

Jinnah Sports Stadium in Islamabad hosted all matches. Although entry to all games was free there were very few local spectators. After a suicide attack one week before start, there were some security concerns but the tournament was considered safe by the Pakistan Football Federation.
