A small step taken by Chandra Bhandari. But he may not know how important it will be in Nepali football. Where is it only in Nepal? Coaches in world football are dominated by men. A female coach in men's soccer? It was hard to think about. Chandra has done this. Chandra has kind of intervened in men's football and it's very pleasant. Chandra is the coach of Boys' Union in the Martyr's Memorial League 'B' Division.
Recently Boys Union played their first match and it was a goalless draw against New Basti. With that match, Chandra became the first female coach in the history of Nepali football to manage the men's team at the highest level. Lately Nepali football is also discussed everywhere. Chandra is attached to it as a different aspect. Now it will begin to say, where are the female coaches lacking? Chandra's bravery must be congratulated for her small step, but the big impact it will make.
Who is Chandra really? She did not suddenly enter the football field. If the generation that played international football after 2010 is considered the 'Golden Generation', he is an important member of it. She was a defender and could also play in the midfield when needed. After a long gap of ten years, Nepal played two international women's football tournaments in 2010. Both took place in Bangladesh. The
was one of them, the 11th South Asian Games (SAG). This was the first time that women's football was allowed on the greens. The first match was held in Dhaka in February and the next in December, at Cox's Bazar. The tournament at Cox's Bazar was the first edition of the Women's Saf Championship. She was the team's first choice player in both tournaments. Then in 2012, she also played the second Women's SAFF Championship in Colombo. Along with friendly international matches against Kuwait and Qatar. Among them, Chandra was the captain of Nepal in the only match in Kuwait City. She thus became the fifth captain of the Nepali women's national team, after Rama Singh, Kamala Hirachan, Meera Chaudhary and Jamuna Gurung. In Kuwait City, he was coached by Kumar Katuwal, who wore the captain's 'arm band'. Katuwal is one of the many who are happy with Chandra's latest achievement. He says, "I was very happy to see Chandra become the coach of Boys' Union."
There is another reason why he is happy. When he was a player, Katuwal himself used to play for Boys Union. Now Chandra has become the coach of that historic club. Chandra's playing life was like this, a total of 23 caps for Nepal. Two goals. And three finals. His playing career was not long due to knee injuries. In 2016, she almost walked off the field when she hit the 12th green in India.
Boys Union is one of the oldest football clubs in Nepal even though it is currently in the 'B' division. In the year 2032, he became the national league champion. Rupkaraj Sharma, the former captain of the Nepali national men's team, and Shyam Thapa, the famous player of India, have also played for the Boys' Union team. She is once again in the limelight after a new avatar as the coach of such an old club. She says, 'I am proud to take charge of the men's team as the first female coach. This is a great opportunity for me. I will work harder in the days to come. Chandra, who is a football coach at DAV School, also has a big goal for the boys' union and that is promotion to the 'A' division. He says, "A club as big as Boys' Union should be in the 'A' division." Coincidentally, only last month she got her 'B' license as a trainer. The next goal will be 'A'. It is said that the more coaches, the better for any country's football development. If you have a quality trainer, even better. Chandra has truly started a new chapter in Nepali football and Majza is optimistic that many more women will follow her lead.
