In a momentous development for Nepalese football, the revered Dasharath Stadium has proudly regained its international status. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has officially declared the stadium fit for international competitions following meticulous inspections.
After a period of uncertainty, when the AFC had previously deemed the stadium unsuitable for international events, Nepal’s World Cup 2026 Qualifier matches had to be played on foreign soil. However, the unwavering dedication and tireless efforts of the National Sports Council have brought the stadium back to its former glory.
Dasharath Stadium is set to roar back into action on August 13th. The stadium will host the highly anticipated AFC Challenge League Play-Off match between Bhutan’s Paro FC and Nepal’s own Church Boys United. This thrilling encounter promises to be a spectacle of skill, passion, and national pride.
The restoration of Dasharath Stadium’s international status not only brings joy to football enthusiasts across Nepal but also signifies a triumphant return to the global football arena. As the stadium prepares to welcome international teams and fans once again, the spirit of competition and unity is sure to fill the air.
Mark your calendars and get ready to cheer, as Dasharath Stadium stands tall and proud, ready to host another chapter in Nepal’s footballing history!
