In a social media post yesterday, Sri Lanka Athletics announced that athletes from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives will compete in the championship.

Ranchi was originally scheduled to host the championships from October 4 to 6 last year, but the event was postponed.

The first two editions of the South Asian Senior Athletics Championships were held in 1997 and 1998.
