I am  dedicating my write-up to the entire “GoalNepal.com”  team for the invaluable  and incredible contribution to Nepal football. At the outset, let me be crystal clear, the article has  nothing to do with my association with “GoalNepal.com “ in the role of  an occasional contributor. I request  you not to cast aspersions on my motives. Don’t get me wrong,this is not a sponsored article.

The team comprises a group of enthusiastic and passionate  professionals whose commitment to ”GoalNepal.com” is  putting development of  Nepal football first.

Favorites Bahrain lived up to their billing as they overwhelmed underperforming Nepal 5-0 in the first leg of the  2026  FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and the 2027 AFC Asian  Cup in Bahrain.   The Middle Eastern outfit  controlled the proceedings from start to finish.They dominated every aspect of the game and stamped their authority on the match. They rightly punished the opponent for their sluggish,sloppy and lackluster performance.  They barely had to break a sweat on their way to an unexpected easy victory. In other words it was a cakewalk for them.   They made the most of their physical, technical and tactical advantages. Apart from that,they combined pace, physical strength,well coordinated offensive play and compact defense to dominate the opposition. In retrospect,Nepal’s performance was flat and mediocre at best.This has to be one of their worst performances in recent years. Contrary to expectations,they  completely lacked competitive  fire and pushed themselves into  submission.

Things are far from  rosy for the men’s national football team of Nepal.To put it bluntly,they have been struggling like never seen before on the field. Currently they are going through a prolonged slump.It  has been  a story of one disappointment after another in international competitions.The declining fortunes of football in the country is palpable. The recent 1-4 defeat against Malaysia in a friendly match further exposed Nepal’s vulnerability. Amidst great challenges,Nepal is gearing up for the double header against Bahrain in the FIFA World Cup AFC Qualification 2026 Second Round Group H  match in Bahrain. Nepal’s home game  was moved to Bahrain  after  the Asian  Football Confederation inspection team found the    Dasarath Rangasala pitch embarrassingly in bad condition and deemed it sub-standard.   It is a classic case of gross negligence on the part of All Nepal Football Association(ANFA).What a shame! They had ample time to ensure the safety and playability of the ground. Unf

The men’s national cricket team of Nepal returned to action amidst high expectations last month. The team had a hectic schedule as they participated in three  tournaments consecutively in a little over a month.  Since Nepal hosted the tournaments cricket  buffs across the country had  a heightened air of  expectancy. Nepal’s recent success on home turf had local fans optimistic about their  team’s chances. The ICC Men’s Cricket  World  Cup  League 2024/27 and T20 International Triangular series featuring Nepal,the Netherlands and Namibia  were the bigger and important tournaments. The  two unofficial one day international series against Canada provided  a perfect platform to emerging  players knocking on the selectors door.  For the second one day series against Canada, Cricket Association of Nepal fielded Nepal A,comprising experienced players and rising stars who have been performing consistently in domestic  and international competitions. The team was skippered by experienced right
