Past President of World Triathlon, Marisol Casado. Triathlon itself is more than an amazing sport. It includes running, swimming and cycling. He has been to Pokhara on more than one occasion because not only South Asian but also Asian level triathlon competitions are held in Pokhara.

Pokhara is the most suitable city for this game. That's why Kasado once said emotionally, 'I sometimes think, there is no other city as suitable for sports as Pokhara, at least in South Asia. It seems like it was made for sports.'

This statement does not say much about Pokhara's relationship with sports, and there are few other sports in Nepal as much as in Pokhara. You should reach Pokhara during the sports program and talk to anyone from the older generation. It seems that there is no Pokhreli who is not related to some kind of game.

There may be many introductions to Pokhara, sports may be the strongest introduction among them. Pokhara should be able to benefit greatly through sports. As everyone knows, sports are never just sports. It is economy, tourism, business. And, many more. Pokhara is also the city of Pearton. Sports is a powerful tool to make this sector more attractive and sustainable.

Whenever there is a discussion about Pokhara and sports, the main problem is where to start. Pokhreli sports have such diverse dimensions. Having said that, the first thing that comes to mind is the exact name, football and the Sahara Club and the Ah-Rara Gold Cup that it hosts.

This contest has changed its name on more than one occasion, but it's still fun to listen to. Right now there is no knockout football in Nepal as prestigious as this one. The capital is not even in Kathmandu. Because it has been ten years since there was no such football tournament in the capital. Speaking only of Mofsal, who can touch this competition?

The history of Pokhara itself is rich in Nepali football. Very old too. Pokhara has given many national players to Nepali football. A long time ago, football competitions were held in Pokhara. Meanwhile, the Aha-Rara Gold Cup organized by Sahara Club is special in many ways.

was its first edition, in the year 2058. Since then, there have been many political changes in Nepal, many different modes have come. But this competition never stopped. As everyone knows, starting a competition is not difficult. The difficulty lies in its regular planning. This competition is going on incessantly, it has become huge.

Hosts Sahara are themselves a club of over 25 years, with the 25th edition of the tournament coming up next year. This year is the 24th edition. Sahara is running a football academy based on this competition. In many ways, the Ah Rara Gold Cup is more than just a specific football tournament.

This contest was truly enviable when it was at the height of its popularity. It drew huge audiences. It was proved that through the tournament, even tourist football lovers can be drawn towards them. Once upon a time, Pokhara used to be full of football during this tournament.

All is not going well with this tournament. So the challenge of making it more successful has been added. There are many problems in Nepali football from time to time. Controversy continues. Meanwhile, the Aha-Rara Gold Cup project continued. When league football stopped being held in Kathmandu, it is the Mofusal tournament that will revive this game.

The way in which Sahara has made Nepali football in a different mode, it can be forgotten. Now the time has come to repay the debts of this competition. Now the competition needs everyone's support. After the discussion of football, how to separate the equally popular game cricket? The Nepal Premier League (NPL) has not yet been discussed. There was a team participating in this, Pokhara Avengers.

Behind so much success of NPL, some of the franchise leagues organized before it have their own importance. It was because of some of the previous franchise leagues that the foundation for the successful project of the NPL was laid. One of them is the Pokhara Premier League. ie ppl. This competition was held only twice in total. But what has been proven in this process is that the potential of cricket in Pokhara is the same. Moreover, the grounds and the beautiful view from there attracted everyone.

One sport that Nepali sports can be proud of is the marathon. Many marathon competitions are held in Nepal, one of them is the Pokhara Marathon. This is the first competition of this kind in Nepal, which promoted the idea of ​​city marathon.

Coincidentally, when the Aha-Rara Gold Cup started, the Pokhara Marathon also started in 2058. Now it is the most popular and prestigious marathon held in Nepal. The reason why marathon is special for Pokhara is because it is one such type of sport, which is directly connected with Pearton. Marathons and marathons often go hand in hand. Another sport that is closely associated with

tourism is golf. Pokhara's Himalayan Golf Course can be a major destination for golf lovers. It has been a long time since Nepal Surya Western Open tournament started being regular here.

Golf, in particular, is big business in world sports. Millions of people travel abroad every year to play golf. Therefore, golf itself is said to be a medium of Pearton. Why there is so much potential for golf in Pokhara is that the way you can absorb the beauty of Pokhara while playing this game is unique. Pokhara should push itself further in golf.

Volleyball is as popular a sport as football and cricket in Nepal. Pokhara has contributed a lot to the journey Nepali volleyball has made so far, especially in women's volleyball. The position that women's volleyball is in now did not happen overnight.

Pokhara and its clubs have a big contribution to it. Pokhara has provided an equal number of national players for Nepali volleyball. There are regular volleyball tournaments in Pokhara. The most prominent among them was the Tiger Cup. There are many volleyball training centers and fields in Pokhara and there are many spectators who love volleyball and do not miss watching the game. When it comes to

sports, don't miss paragliding. Pokhara is the destination for this game in Nepal. If you want to review the history of Nepali sports, you will not miss the Asian Games of 2018. The silver medal won by paragliding will come without missing a beat. Silver is right, this is one of the biggest achievements of Nepali sports in international sports so far. Pokhara was the team of Nepal in that Asian cricket tournament held in Indonesia, there were players here.
