The World Cup and Asia Cup qualifying match to be played between Nepal and Bahrain will not be held at the Dashrath Stadium. All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) said on Friday that this match will not be held in Nepal. ANFA also said that the match on Chaith 8 will be neutral and will be announced soon.

Nepal will play the second leg match against Bahrain on March 13 and this match will be played in Bahrain. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) was forced to move the match against Bahrain to another venue after the Dashrath stadium was declared unsuitable for international football. An AFC representative recently inspected the stadium. During the inspection, the grass of the stadium had died and the ground had become like a field. Just last week, the Dasharath Stadium hosted the Rugby Club Championship and that helped further spoil the ground. Similarly, after organizing the Nepal Super League (NSL), various schools also organized their annual sports program at the Dashrath Stadium.
