Nepal Football

Nepal football is a popular sport in the Himalayan country. The game enjoys wide support among the youth of the Himalayan nation. Football is played all over Nepal.

Nepal football is administered by a central football governing body. The central football governing body of Nepal is the All Nepal Football Association or ANFA. The All Nepal Football Association or ANFA is an active member of the Asian Football Federation or AFC. The popularity of the football in Nepal is spurred by the success of the national team in international tournaments. The notable successes of the Nepal football team include its stunning victory over Bhutan by a record seven goals. Nepal holds a rank of 183 in the world FIFA ranking numbers.

Nepal is a poor south Asian country. The weak economy of the Himalayan country shows its influence in the game of football that is played in the country. The monetary compensation of Nepali football players are not as high as required. Even national level players are forced to work in other jobs to sustain themselves. Nepalese football players do not get effective access to the proper equipment for proper training and physical development. Many non-governmental organizations are presently trying to address the imbalance by organizing training programs of their own.
