The 2026 Diamond Jubilee International Football Tournament was a four-nation international association football tournament held in the Maldives from 1 to 10 June 2026. The tournament was organized by the Football Association of Maldives.
Overview The tournament was played to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Maldivian football. It also served as preparation for the 2026 SAFF Championship for the local national teams. Maldives hosted similar tournaments before, such as the Maldives Football Golden Jubilee Invitational Tournament in May 2000, where Sri Lanka defeated the hosts in the final.
Sri Lanka withdrew despite earlier confirmation, and was replaced by Afghanistan. Although initial reports indicated that Bangladesh would field a split senior squad, with another team simultaneously engaged in a friendly tour of Europe, they ultimately entered with the Olympic team.
