The Nepali women's national football team is facing Indonesia in an international friendly match on Wednesday. The match will be held at the Maguwoharjo Stadium in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The match will start at 6:15 pm Nepali time. Nepal has arrived in Indonesia to play in the Three Nations Cup.
The other team in the tournament is Chinese Taipei. Nepal is expected to face a tough challenge from Indonesia. Indonesia, which is behind Nepal in the FIFA rankings, has included some of its own players who are abroad in the team for this tournament.
This match will be only the third meeting between Nepal and Indonesia. In the previous two matches, Indonesia has won once and Nepal once. Indonesia defeated Nepal 8-0 in the 1989 AFC Women's Championship.
At that time, Nepal had just started playing women's international football. The second match was held in 2019. In the same match of the AFC Women's Olympic qualifiers, Nepal defeated Indonesia 2-1. Both goals were scored by Savitra Bhandari.
This time, however, the injured Savitra will not be in the team and Angela Subba is leading the team in her place. She has said that she will play for the victory against Indonesia. She said in the pre-match conference that she will play with respect for Indonesia as a rival.
Similarly, coach Navin Neupane has also responded that the Nepali team came to Indonesia for a positive result. He expressed full confidence in his team in the pre-match conference. Under his leadership, Nepal had previously played the Three Nations Cup in Shillong, India.
