Nepalese women’s football continues to shine beyond borders, and once again, a familiar name is carrying the national flag forward. Deepa Shahi has officially completed a move to Rajshahi Stars FC, ahead of the 2025/26 season of the Bangladesh Women’s Football League.
The Nepal international defensive midfielder is set for another exciting chapter in her growing professional career.
Midfield General with Winning DNA
Known for her tireless work rate, strong defensive awareness, and ability to control the tempo of the game, Deepa brings both steel and intelligence to the midfield. Whether shielding the backline or dictating play from the center, she has earned a reputation as a reliable leader on the pitch.
Before this move, Deepa enjoyed a highly successful stint in the Maldives with Maziya Sports & RC, where she lifted the FAM Women’s Premier League title. That championship experience now travels with her to Bangladesh.
From Maldives Glory to Bangladesh Dreams
The move to Rajshahi Stars FC is another sign of the growing demand for Nepalese women footballers in South Asia. Deepa’s journey reflects not just personal ambition, but also the rising reputation of Nepali players as disciplined, fearless competitors.
Her arrival is expected to add balance, experience, and leadership to the Rajshahi Stars midfield as the club prepares for a competitive league campaign.
Nepal Keeps Exporting Champions
From domestic pitches to international leagues, Nepal continues to export fighters, leaders, and champions. Deepa Shahi’s move is yet another proud moment for Nepali women’s football and an inspiration for the next generation.
