Nepali Football Updates NFU

🚨 HUGE BLOW: Nepal out from AFC U20 Asian Cup Qualifiers 2026 🇳🇵💔

Another major setback for Nepal.

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has officially announced the group draw and match schedule for the AFC U-20 Asian Cup Qualifiers, but Nepal is NOT included due to the ongoing FIFA suspension on ANFA.

One more international tournament... one more generation of young Nepali footballers denied the chance to represent their nation on the Asian stage.

How many more opportunities must Nepal lose before this crisis is resolved?

Nepali football deserves better. 🇳🇵⚽

🚨🇳🇵 HERE WE GO! DIWAKAR CHAUDHARY IS BANGLADESH-BOUND! 🇧🇩🔥

Nepalese international defender Diwakar Chaudhary has reportedly been signed by Chattogram Football Club for the Bangladesh Premier League 2026! ✍️⚽

💪 A prolific and experienced defender, Diwakar has built his career playing across Nepal and India, and now he is ready for a new challenge on the Bangladeshi stage! 🇳🇵➡️🇧🇩

Another Nepali international taking his talent abroad! 🌏🔥

All the best, Diwakar! Make Nepal proud! 🇳🇵❤️

🚨 Nepali खेलाडीको नियति: Khep खेल्न झण्डै २०० बढि Sikkimमा 🇮🇳‼️

With Nepali football brought to a standstill following the FIFA suspension, more than 200 Nepali footballers are reportedly playing in local "khep" tournaments across Sikkim and Northeast India during the July–August season to earn match fees. Reports suggest that even some Nepali internationals are among those participating.

Instead of representing Nepal on the international stage, our players are being forced to chase one-off tournament earnings just to make a living.

To make matters worse, Sikkim Express reports that discussions are underway regarding a policy on non-local (Nepali) footballers in Sikkim tournaments.

This is the harsh reality of Nepali football today.

No domestic leagues.
No national team matches.
No footballing future in sight.

Our players deserve opportunities, not uncertainty.

Nepali football cannot afford to waste another generation. 🇳🇵⚽

🚨 FULL-TIME: Thimphu City FC 3️⃣-2️⃣ Transport United FC

WHAT. A. THRILLER. 🤯

Thimphu City raced into a 3-0 lead inside just 19 minutes, but Transport United refused to surrender and came within touching distance of an incredible comeback! 💪

🇳🇵 Nepal's internationals stepped up when it mattered most: ⚽ Gita Rana ⚽ Anita KC

Both found the back of the net to ignite the fightback, but Transport United narrowly fell short.

Despite the defeat, our Nepali stars once again left their mark on Bhutanese football. 🇳🇵🔥

Nepalese quality continues to shine beyond borders! 👏❤️

🚨 FULL-TIME: Bodoland FC 3-0 Srinagar FC1

What a statement from Nepal's young international! Aron Thapa Chhotey found the back of the net for Bodoland FC, scoring their third goal in a dominant 3-0 victory over Srinagar FC1.

A dream debut goal on Indian soil as the Nepali youngster continues to prove his talent beyond the border. The future is bright! 🌟🇳🇵

Congratulations, Aron! Keep making Nepal proud! ❤️🇳🇵

🇳🇵 A football legacy continues. A family making history. ❤️⚽

The Thapa brothers are proudly carrying their family's football tradition onto one of South Asia's biggest stages—the 132nd Durand Cup 2026.

🔥 Alan Thapa – the elder brother and a Nepal U-23 international, representing Indian Army Red Football Team.

🔥 Aron Thapa Magar – the younger brother, representing Bodoland FC.

But this story began long before them.

Their father, Andrews Gorkhey Thapa, also played in the prestigious Durand Cup during his playing days. Their elder brother, Dona Thapa, proudly represented Nepal at the international level and is now one of Nepal's most recognized football content creators.

Three generations. One family. One passion. ❤️

From father to sons, the Thapa family continues to inspire Nepali football with dedication, hard work, and pride.

Wishing both Alan and Aron the very best in the Durand Cup 2026. Make Nepal proud! 🇳🇵⚽
