International football competition From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Men's football tournament at 2004 South Asian Games was held across 3 venues in Pakistan from March 28 to April 6, 2004. The tournament was delayed twice due to developments related to Pakistan's support as a major non-NATO ally in the fight against terrorism against the Afghan Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and US foreign policy at the time following 9/11.[1] Pakistan won the football tournament, defeating India 1–0, for its third title.[2]
