Amidst doubts, confusion and controversy about the league, the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) on Monday made a decision, the implementation of which will still be questioned. According to that decision, a national league will be held from Poush 25. After that, the 'A' division will be held within a month. Why there will be questions about this is because decisions have been made many times before regarding the organization of the league. But they have not been implemented.
Instead, the scheduled programs have changed one after another. ‘ANFA cannot do everything just because it wants to,’ ANFA General Secretary Kiran Rai admitted, ‘Again, ANFA is a parent organization, so no one should force anyone.’ As per the decision of ANFA’s emergency meeting, all ‘A’ Division clubs have been opened to play in the national league.
That means that only the top 6 teams in the last ‘A’ Division will be allowed to play in the national league. The option has also been opened to others who wish to. The meeting has also made another big decision. Its implementation will not be in its hands alone. Accordingly, ANFA has also proposed to install a hybrid grass field at Dasharath Stadium under the ‘Equal Pitch’ program of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
For this, the consent and support of the National Sports Council and the government will be required. ‘We expect support from the government in this and we will also complete the necessary process,’ added General Secretary Rai.
The working committee has also made two major decisions related to women's football. It has now been decided to make women's football a franchise league. The U-19 SAFF Women's Football will be organized in Pokhara in Falgun. It has been decided to hold the National Women's Knockout Tournament in Udayapur. ANFA has also stated that all necessary preparations are underway for the SAFF Club Women's Championship to be held at the Dasharath Stadium from Mangsir 19 to Poush 5. Five league champion teams from South Asia will participate in the tournament.
