The All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) held such a press conference on Tuesday, which left the question unanswered. While focusing on the league, General Secretary Kiran Rai could not say that the Martyr Memorial League 'A' Division will be held on this day in the program held at the ANFA Complex in Satdobato. However, he gave one confidence, "even if it is late, now it will be a good league."
Two days ago, major 'A' division clubs demanded the formation of a separate empowered committee to organize the league. Similarly, a day ago, some prominent officials of ANFA had challenged the leadership to resign if the league was not formed. Meanwhile, some football fans protested in front of the ANFA complex. The reason for the demonstration was that there was no league football for a long time.
In this background, General Secretary Rai said while facing the media on Tuesday, 'Our aim is to support the club, to cooperate. As the next league will be played on home and away basis, more homework is needed for this. For this, after Tihar, we will discuss with the clubs. In this case, the league of this format will be held only next year. But in the meantime, we will not remain silent.'
He further added, 'Therefore, we will organize another league in the meantime. This will be the league of Tire-Wan. But a decision has yet to be made about how it will happen and when it will happen. In this case, the soon-to-be league may be the 'A' division or the national league. ANFA statutes have considered both these leagues as tier-one. Although it has already been announced that the league will be held on December 9, it is said that it may be delayed for a few days.
"According to the rules of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), this league will last for 6 months and the winner will also be able to play in the AFC tournament," General Secretary Rai informed. Expressing gratitude for the concern shown by Nepali football fans for not having a league for a long time, the general secretary said, "After good homework, we will make a high-level league next year on the basis of home and away."
