Host selection
On 10 September 2013, SAFF executive committee decided that 3rd SAFF Women's Championship will be held in Pakistan.[3]
Venue
Jinnah Sports Stadium in Islamabad hosted all the matches.[4] Although entry to all games was free, there were very few local spectators.[5] After a suicide attack one week before start, there were some security concerns but the tournament was considered safe by the Pakistan Football Federation.[6] Some matches were televised.[7]
