Anu Lama is one of the best players Nepali women's football has ever had. It has been a few years since he retired from international football. But she did not take a formal leave from domestic football. After leaving international football, she said, maybe club football will be played for a few more years.
However, everything was not as he said. In doing so, she also took an opportunity to take a break from domestic football, the play-off finals of the ANFA Women's League. She came on as a substitute towards the end of the match. She scored a goal in this process. She scored in the last shot of her career.
So it remained, a memorable farewell. She later said, 'Women's football was different in our time, it is different now. Times have changed and so have circumstances. Today's players have both opportunities and facilities. Just give them a chance, they can do a lot. Now we can dream of playing the World Cup.'
She further said, 'I want to tell everyone that women's football should be given importance like men's football. It should have more games, it should have leagues and it needs knockout competition as well. International matches are also taking place, the team should be given an opportunity in this. There is a lot to hope for in Nepali women's football.'
