The Sri Lanka women\u2019s football team tolerated a unacceptable campaign in Group \u2018F\u2019 of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women\u2019s Asian Cup (Australia 2026) qualifiers, failing to score a single goal and yielding 20 goals across their three matches.
The Group \u2018F\u2019 qualifiers, featuring Uzbekistan, Nepal, Laos, and Sri Lanka, were held at the Do\u2019Stilik Stadium in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Sri Lanka agonized a 0\u201310 defeat to host nation Uzbekistan, a 0\u20138 loss to Nepal, and a 0\u20132 loss to Laos, finishing at the bottom of the group without a point or a goal to their name.
Undefeated Uzbekistan qualified for the final round of the tournament as Group \u2018F\u2019 champions. Both Nepal and Uzbekistan were level on goal difference and goals scored, so a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the final group rankings.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
