After more than two decades, finally, in a very real sense, there is real change in Nepal Football Association strictly in terms of leadership and management. I congratulate the newly elected President of the All Nepal Football Association(ANFA) Mr. Karma Tsering  Sherpa and every member of his team on their electoral success.

Not surprisingly, we faced the fury of London’s notorious weather as we took off for the city tour.It  was nippy, overcast ,breezy, coupled with occasional shower,however,it did not dampen our spirit or ruined our adventure in one of the world’s old cities. We ventured into London’s iconic landmarks -Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, London Eye, Tower of London,Westminster  Abbey, Tower Bridge, famous upscale localities and many more. Just when  we were starting to get the feel of  this fantastic cosmopolitan, two days proved to be  awfully too short for a city larger than life. Dover to Calais,France Wi...
