To be honest, Nepal Super League (NSL) football is getting ready. Seven teams will compete in the third edition of the tournament. These days these teams are busy from 'retaining' players to announcing coaches. The player's 'auction' is happening today, Saturday. In total there will be 60 players.
According to the organizer of the competition, Nepal Sports and Events Management, the auction this time will be a 'mini auction'. This is the first time that such an auction is going to be held.
Will the next NSL prove to be Sanjeevani amid the void in Nepali men's football? Have to go into a little 'flash back'. The joy of being a champion is different. Whenever the journey to the title is really bumpy. When Lalitpur City FC won the Nepal Super League in 2008, everyone must have felt that nothing deserved to be champions like this. Lalitpur struggled and reached the playoffs by finishing fourth.
Lalitpur was preceded by Pokhara Thunders, Dhangadhi FC and Kathmandu Razors. Lalitpur initially beat Kathmandu to win the title. Then Pokhara and finally Dhangadhi. Once it reached the playoff stage, Lalitpur's performance remained incredible. Lalitpur defeated Dhangadhi 3-2 in the final. Lalitpur emerged victorious from the position of being behind by one goal. Lalitpur's coach Ian Andrew Gilani remained calm after his team became champions.
was his response, the title journey was no less than a dramatic screenplay in a cinema. He also did not forget to praise Nepali football. His argument was that there is no shortage of talent in Nepali players. Because that final is memorable, Dasharath Stadium was full to watch that match. It's hard to remember when there was such a large audience before. NSL has given a lot to Nepali football. One is the entry of the corporate sector in Nepali football in the name of franchise football.
Clubs named after cities like abroad and the locals who support them and the art and culture associated with them. How can you forget Lake's dance when playing Lalitpur? Along with the instrument that suits it. Owned by Lalitpur, under the name of Bhatbhateni Supermarket. During the course of the tournament, every aspect of this business house was linked to football. All contributed in some way to the football team's journey.
When the team became the champion, everyone was very happy. This is the positive effect that football can have. Indeed, there is so much talent and potential in Nepali football. No, it's just an opportunity. In such a situation, the job of creating opportunities for some is the job of a competition like NSL. Where has there not been a competition in Nepali football before? But NSL brought glamor to Nepali football.
This tournament gave a new and different flavor to franchise football. It can be considered that this franchise football gave Nepali football three big guns. First, Nepalese players got to play under the leadership of experienced coaches. The foreign players who came to play this tournament were of excellent quality and the talented Nepali players got a big platform. For this reason, the football played by NSL was worth mentioning.
A date will always be memorable. That is, 075 Jan 17. It was on this day that Nepal Sports and Events Management signed an agreement with the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) to host the Nepal Super League (NSL). The first edition took place in the year 078. A game of that time will also be remembered equally. Still, this game has to be watched again and again, the sensation and thrill that it gives will not diminish at all.
This match was played, Kathmandu Razors vs Biratganr City FC. Kathmandu was the winner of that match. The score was 5–4. In this game with a total of 9 goals, Kathmandu looked strong once and Biratnagar on another occasion. Mesuke Olomou scored a hat-trick in that match. Later, Kathmandu also won the title of that edition. Kathmandu became champions despite losing the match against Dhangadhi FC in the first qualifier. In the
final, Kathmandu defeated none other than Dhangadhi. While the NSL of these two versions was taking place. Meanwhile, the coach of the Nepali national team was Kuwaiti Abdul Almutairi. The coach was one of those who openly praised this competition. He often used to say that what Nepal needs is a competition like this. He often emphasized that players should get international facilities. His argument was that facilities and opportunities have a direct positive effect on player performance.
In 2021, the Maldives hosted the largest South Asian football tournament, the SAFF Championship. Nepal was the runner-up. For the first time, Nepal made a trip to the finals of the SAFF Championship. While talking to the Nepali media in Male, he did not forget to raise the issue of NSL. However, he prepared the Nepali team based on the first edition of the NSL.
gave a chance to some young players. Examples of this are players like Manish Dangi, Eric Bisht, Ayush Ghalan. If we were to make a list of such players, it would be longer. During the second edition of the NSL, players like Bimal Ghartimar returned to their country to play in the tournament. When the third edition of the NSL takes place, will it really break the void in the top tier of domestic football and bring it back to life? Nepali men's football needs this tournament very much at this time.
