The Nepal National and International Players Association has expressed solidarity with the protest against the ANFA by football players, demanding that they be allowed to play on Friday.
The association believes that it is unfortunate that the next edition of the 'A' Division League, which is linked to the livelihood of football players, could not start after almost two and a half years.
The Nepal Football Players Association staged a sit-in and protested at the ANFA headquarters on Thursday.
A statement signed by the association's president, Deepak Shrestha, said, "In the past, players' lives had become somewhat easier when they joined clubs to play in leagues and other football competitions. We are aware of the fact that hundreds of players have had to leave the country for employment when the A Division League was suspended for such a long time. Many players from some non-professional sports have also made foreign countries their destination."
Stating that it is a matter of shame that a situation has arisen where they have to go against their own association to organize a game, the players' association has said that the ANFA leadership needs to think seriously and take initiatives to solve the problem.
The association has urged ANFA to solve the problem as soon as possible and create an environment for the league. The statement also stated that the Nepal National and International Players Association will stand by football players in all kinds of protests, including those held for their rights.
