First of all thanks to All Nepal Football Association (ANFA). There has never been such a big competition in Nepali women's football after breaking the South Asian circle. Therefore, the 'Four Nations Cup' will be no less than a festival for Nepali women's football. After the women's league from the qualifiers to the playoffs, now it's the turn of the competition between four countries.

Amid accusations that nothing is happening in Nepali football, something good is about to happen. No doubt about it. That's why the captains or coaches of all the four countries along with Nepal have said in one voice, 'Thank you very much to ANFA.'

In Asian women's football, everyone's eyes are now on the Asia Cup qualifiers to be held in June-July. It is also a World Cup qualifier. Now women's football just needs to do a little better, sweet results can be in front of them. Therefore, this 'Four Nations Cup' has become the right tournament at the right time.

Nepal has yet to beat Myanmar in women's international football. Also, Myanmar is a strong team in Asian women's football. Is this Myanmar team the same as before or has it changed? There have been 4 matches between Nepal and Myanmar so far. One of the first matches ended in a draw. Since then, Myanmar has won continuously. Nepal has faced Lebanon only once. It was a great victory.

Hasn't Lebanese football improved itself more than from Nepal's point of view? And about Kyrgyzstan. Nepal will face Kyrgyzstan in their first match of the Four Nations Cup. Nepal played against Kyrgyzstan only once. It was a huge victory of 8-2. Even if it is the same result, Nepal will not be able to play with this opponent. So this tournament will be a real test for all the four countries.

coach happy with preparations

Nepali team coach Rajendra Tamang is probably happy with the preparations for this tournament. This is what he is saying. Otherwise, he is not a coach who backs down to criticize his own players. In the pre-match conference held on the eve of the tournament, he said, "All preparations are over." Angela Subba and Rekha Poudel have reached Kathmandu. Savitra Bhandari will arrive in the morning on the day of the match. Maybe he will miss the first game.'

'There is not much difference between the previous and current preparations. But because of the league, the players are in a better position. I have emphasized on the strategy rather than the fitness of the players. Work has become easier. If the league structure is good and regular, it will bring good results. There is also talk of other competitions towards Mofsal. That's good. The team itself is better now, compared to before. We are working more in the middle line," he adds.

Focusing on Kyrgyzstan, he says, 'Nepal played with Kyrgyzstan six years ago. It was a big win. Since then we haven't even watched their game and haven't played against them. But I think the Kyrgyz team should be good. He last played against India. We don't think we can get an easy victory this time either. Our forwards are good. We emphasize on counter attack and we will play with the ball under control.

Captain Angela believes that this tournament is a great opportunity for players like him. She says, 'Our preparation is good. The participating team is also good. Play to win. But you have to win the title by playing rather than talking. This time we have planned to correct the mistakes made in the previous competition. I believe, mistakes will be less this time. We are trying to strengthen our defense.

Myanmar is strong

The head coach of Myanmar, Tetsuro Uki, is also focused on the next Asia Cup/World Cup selection. He believes that his team is going through a change. This Four Nations Cup will be a test for his team ahead of that important qualifier.

There is no shortage of spectators in women's football in Nepal. This is good. Playing in front of Nepali supporters will be a valuable experience. He says, "Myanmar is ahead of the four teams in the FIFA ranking, but it doesn't mean much."

The other four teams think Myanmar is the strongest. The team's current FIFA ranking is 55th. He has played in the Asia Cup five times and Myanmar played the tournament for the first time in 2003. But so far, Myanmar has not progressed beyond the league stage.

Kyrgyz coach Nematzhan Zakirov believes that his team is new. He says, "There are many young players in our team. So there can be no better opportunity for them to gain experience.
