It is long overdue. By now a full-fledged National   Football League should have been in place, running full swing in the country. Instead   we are still waiting for this to happen. At the same time, we have to ask ourselves will it ever happen. Leave alone running the National Football League (NFL), All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) led by Ganesh Thapa has turned   a blind eye to the most important domestic competition for well over two decades. Yet no one has questioned this? It’s simply ridiculous and unbelievable. These are the same   people, don’t forget,   who shamelessly keep pounding their chests claiming they have done so much for Nepal football.  The failure   to organize the NFL   is one of the biggest   failings   of   the football body in the last 21 years.

Looking at the sport budget allocated by the government for the new fiscal year, cricket benefitted the most. A significant chunk of the budget has gone to   cricket and   not football for the first time.

He has no shame whatsoever and will do whatever it takes to defend himself and his administration against critics and opponents. His recent actions speak a lot louder than words. He has not changed his attitude, approach, and mind-set a bit. He continues to be arrogant, stubborn, dictatorial and unprofessional. There are no words   such as   accountability, compromise, negotiation, respect, truthfulness and honesty in his dictionary. He is on the offensive, aggressively pouncing on critics, media, detractors, clubs, and the government, as well. He is back to his old ways, challenging, intimidating those not   agreeing with him. His ploys to silence and suppress cynics and dissenting voices are not new. Whenever he feels seriously threatened, we hav...
