Bhutan opened their campaign with a hard-fought 1–1 draw against Pakistan, followed by an impressive 3–3 draw against eventual champions Bangladesh. The team then gathered momentum with convincing victories over Sri Lanka (5–1) and the Maldives (4–2), before producing one of the standout performances of the tournament with a 2–1 win over India, who later finished as runners-up. Bhutan’s only defeat came against Nepal in a closely contested 5–3 match, which did little to diminish an otherwise outstanding campaign.

We believed in ourselves, fought together in every match, and showed that Bhutan can compete confidently at the regional level. This achievement belongs to the entire team and everyone who has supported us.” Bangladesh were crowned champions of the tournament, with India finishing as runners-up, while Bhutan claimed third place ahead of Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. Beyond the podium finish, the championship provided invaluable international exposure and learning opportunities for the Dragon Girls, many of whom competed in a regional futsal tournament of this magnitude for the first time.
