If Nepali football circles are to be believed, this country's most popular club has fallen into three-star relegation. The team has lost its Shahid Smarak 'A' Division League status. Now the three-time upper division league champions will have to play in the 'B' division. No official information has come out from the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) regarding this.

If this is true, its impact on Nepali football can be terrible. Three Star won the 'A' division in 054, 051 and 069. The last edition of Shahid Smarak League 'A' Division took place two years ago. In the last match, Three Star defeated Jawalakhel Youth Club 1-0 and avoided relegation. 

Due to this result, the departmental team APF Club was reduced. After that, APF filed a complaint that Three Star fielded illegal players in that match. Threestar was accused of landing two foreign players whose visas had expired. Based on that complaint, ANFA's Disciplinary Committee took action only against Three Star and related players. But now the appeal committee reversed that decision and gave a decision that they were defeated 3-0 by the hands of Three Star Jawalkhel, citing illegal players. Accordingly, this successful club of Patan will now fall to the 'B' division. With this decision, APF will remain in the 'A' division.
