The kind   of attention   he has generated and attracted, no doubt, is phenomenal and makes me truly believe that he is one of the most talked about   and sought after athletes in the country, at the moment. He is not even half way through his   triumphant career but   already his accomplishments   outdo his six feet plus towering   frame. The twenty-five year old   resident of Kathmandu has in a way transfixed and galvanized the media world by his sheer cricketing brilliance, genius and prowess. No wonder he is so popular with   the media people and gets so much attention. By virtue of   tireless work and persistent   ambition, young   Khadka   has plodded   

Upcoming   Bimal Gharti Magar is an extremely gifted footballer from Butaha in Nawalparasi district, West Nepal. There   is a   general consensus among coaches, fans and sport writers that the highly touted youngster has    superstar qualities. At the age of   15,   he   made his international   debut   against Bangladesh in a friendly international, thus becoming the  country’s  youngest footballer ever   to play for the   senior national team. Former   national coach Krishna   Thapa   is all praise for the   youngster. He is very convinced   that he has the talent to become a future   star.

Only 24 but international Sandip   Rai   has   carved a niche for himself in Nepali football. He has earned high marks and accolades   for his defensive skills from all quarters.

Having already made 43 international appearances, the youngster   is the   epitome of calm, cool and collected.  Today he stands    a much more matured, composed player and   is always a joy to watch him play.

We   hear   a   whole lot of conversation   and chatter   about Nepali football nowadays. Some are meaningful, whereas   others   are more uncertain and speculative. It seems the conversation never ends.  There is no reason why football goers should   refrain   from talking about the game they love so much.
