Nepali Football Team Prepares for Friendly Competition in Europe after 38 Years 17th Baisakh: Preparation of Nepali Team Flying to England Appears Weak* Long-awaited European Friendly Competition: After 38 years, the Nepali football team is gearing up for a friendly competition in Europe. However, their preparation for the upcoming match against England on the 17th of Baisakh seems inadequate. Training Setback: With the head coach, Bisendjo Albert, residing in Italy, only 26 players have been announced for training sessions aimed at friendly matches. ANFA's Efforts: The All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) is conducting training at the Bhadrakali Army Ground starting Tuesday. The national team is set to play a friendly match against England's 'C' division team, Aldershot Town Football Club, on the 25th of Baisakh. Challenges Faced: Due to most senior players being engaged in the Gold Cup Football Tournament and limited access to fields, ANFA faces challenges in adequately preparing the national team. Fitness Concerns: A player highlighted fitness issues amidst insufficient training, stressing the importance of robust preparation for European competition. ANFA's Initiative: ANFA has prepared a squad of 23 players and seven officials for the Nepali team's second-ever European tour, aiming to send a strong contingent for friendly matches. Support and Logistics: ANFA, along with the assistance of a task force, district, and club officials, is arranging the tour to England. Notably, ANFA President Pankaj Vikram Nemwang and Vice President Deepak Khadka will accompany the national team. Tripartite Agreement: A tripartite agreement has been reached between the Football Association of Nepal (FAN), ANFA, and Aldershot Town Football Club. The agreement includes a 90-minute match with both teams allowed to make five substitutions. ANFA will cover all expenses for the Nepali team. Challenges Ahead: With limited training opportunities and delayed preparations, the Nepali team faces challenges. However, they aim to intensify training for better readiness, especially for European matches. In Conclusion: Despite facing hurdles, the Nepali football team's journey to Europe signifies a significant milestone in their international sports endeavors. As they gear up for friendly matches, ANFA's concerted efforts aim to ensure a competitive outing for Nepali football. #NepaliFootballTeam

K.P. Oli Vows to Continue Active Politics for Another 20 Years to Lead the Country on the Right Path Kathmandu — CPN-UML Chairman and former Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has emphasized the current necessity to lead the country towards good governance and development. Addressing the 11th district convention of CPN-UML Kaski on Friday, Chairman Oli announced his intention to remain active in politics for another 20 years to further advance the country on the right path. “CPN-UML is now in a new political scenario. But the party exists. The party has its own policies. The party has its own goals. Without deviating from our goals and policies, in the current situation, it is essential to build national strength, lead the country towards good governance and development, and restore culture and cultural values,” Chairman Oli said. He added, “In the past, someone used to think of a Nepal without CPN-UML, and someone used to think of a Nepal without K.P. Oli. But now, such thoughts won't work – I have said this before, 'Even if the jungle turns dark, I've ploughed my own field. This is not a planted crop; I've sown it myself. Even if others don't have hope, I do. CPN-UML will continue to sit at the forefront and will usher this country forward, eliminating poverty and hunger, even if it's just a bit, CPN-UML will find the time to sit in peace." He also commented on the strength of UML under his leadership. He directed party workers to focus on organizational development, emphasizing on winning the majority alone in the 2028 elections. In the new political scenario, there is a necessity for CPN-UML to remain and lead the country on the path of national strength building, good governance, and development, as per his statement.

The United States channels dollars to promote atheism, under the guise of projects like MCC, where they infiltrate with their spies and soldiers. Using the names of various INGOs, they invest in conversion efforts, making Christianity their primary objective. The American embassy periodically issues statements, alleging "persecution of Christians in Nepal," expressing concerns. Due to the unstable politics and ineffective leadership of the country, Nepal's status has fallen to the bottom tier of the world's most backward countries on the global stage.
