Awards

[edit]

All Nepal Football Association awarded the following awards for the National League season.[15]

Controversy

[edit]

The conditions of many stadiums has been heavily criticized as many; including the national stadium, are in poor condition.[16]

Some Jhapa XI fans were left feeling aggrieved after the venue was moved from Chandragadhi, where there was a well maintained stadium to the Domalal Stadium in Birtamod, which is smaller but in a more central location.[17]

It was initially decided that matches would only be played on weekends so teams had adequate rest time and venues wouldn't be overused, but the ANFA decided to revert this decision and schedule matches one after the other, which vexed many team officials and supporters.[18] Nepal Army Club coach Megraj KC publicly criticized the cramped schedules saying that they would hurt team performances.[19]

Jhapa XI were unable to train on a proper pitch before an away match against Nepal Police Club on 3 April. Instead of being allowed to train in the Police Club's Dasarath Stadium they were instead made to train on the Tudhikhel grounds, whose surface is composed of sand and rocks not grass and is not a proper football pitch.[20] Jhapa coach Bhagirath Ale publicly criticized the ANFA for refusing to grant them permission to train at the national stadium, although he stated that the improper practice session would not have an effect on Jhapa's performance against the police club.[21]

Effects of the April earthquake and subsequent May aftershock on league play

[edit]

Following the 25 April the National League was immediately suspended by the ANFA as the Country was in a State of emergency.[22] Many of the venues were damaged. The Dasarath Rangasala Stadium, which was already in poor shape and in need of repair before the earthquake was rendered completely unplayable as it sustained severe damaged to the stands, grounds, and many of the walls surrounding the stadium collapsed.[23] Following the quake and subsequent aftershock the vast majority of players and staff of the respective teams took time off to help, Bikram Lama spent time delivery relief supplies in Sindhupalchowk[24] for example, and many charitable matches and tournaments were also held to raise awareness and money.

On 8 July the ANFA announced that the National League would resume in mid September.[25]

Prizes

[edit]

The winning club will receive 1 Crore while the runners up 50 Lakhs and the third place team is set to receive 25 Lakhs. The fourth placed will get 15Lakhs and 5th place will get 7 Lakhs Coaches and players who are the recipients of individual awards will each be gifted a motorbike.[1]
