All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) doesn’t have its own ground which is good enough to organize the tournaments. Neither there is any other alternative in the Nation to conduct an international matches rather than Dasrath Stadium. That is the main reason that ANFA couldn’t dare to think of double league and therefore to deter the match-fixing. League here lasts for 2 monotonous months.
The reality is pretty pitiable. Football ground is too dearer thing in Nepal, even in the capital itself there is a huge gap. The capital’s 12 A division clubs doesn’t have a private ground except Jawalakhel Youth Club. In fact the major base of Nepalese football is still same as of 50 years back. Same range of needs and dependency. The most apparent example is the Tundikhel which is still equally indispensable for the tournaments, practice and the production of the players.
NRT, a famous and reputed local team practices in the muddy and craggy banks of Bagmati River. They have lifted the league titles twice practicing in that bank. Players literally have to work to recuperate the ground after floods sweeps away the bank. Breadth of the ground is not well enough; it really loses its charm when the ball went down to the stinky drains liquor of Bagmati River.
Boys Union, NRT’s neighboring team also shares the same ground and Friends’ Club currently practicing in pulchowk engineering campus also use to practice in the same ground some times before.
Most notably, Tundikhel is the busiest soccer bed of Nepal. Sankata, RCT, Boys Sports and Kathmandu Club all waited for the turn to tread into the ground.
Manang Marsyangdi and Naxal Club shares Sano Gaucharan together while Three Star is in more comfortable position, solely using the Lagankhel lawn.
Transcending all veterans Jawalakhel Youth Club is the luckiest as they have their private ground necessarily for pride and secondarily for wealth.
