Female football players Anjali Chand and Savina Chaudhary have signed with Bhutanese club Thimphu City FC.
They are women's U-20 national team players. Both will compete in the BOB Bhutan Women's National League 2025. Thimphu City is one of the top clubs in Bhutan. They will be under contract until the end of October.
Thimphu City is fourth in the league table. The team has won both of its opening games. The club will provide round-trip airfare, full accommodation and monthly salary to both players as part of their professional contract. It is said that all work including work permit and visa has been completed.
Anjali is known as a midfielder and winger, while Savina will play the role of right-back and defender.
Thimphu City's owner Hishe Tshiring made the signing of the players possible and this made it possible for Nepalese players to go to Bhutan and play professional football, said independent football agent Naveen Chitrakar. He said that it was his first step to send Nepali women players abroad and he felt proud to make their professional journey successful.
