Nepal football faces continued limbo after 100 days of FIFA suspension - sports - OnlineKhabar English

In short

  • FIFA suspended the All Nepal Football Association 100 days ago.
  • The international governing body demands independence from outside interference.
  • Youth teams face missing upcoming qualifiers if the ban is not lifted in time.

One hundred days have passed since the international governing body suspended the All Nepal Football Association, leaving the domestic sport in uncertainty. Authorities have yet to indicate when the restriction will end, prompting concern among players and administrators alike. The ongoing situation draws parallels with other regional cases, such as India's suspension in August 2022 due to judicial intervention in administrative duties. That ban was reversed once the external committee was dissolved and the national federation regained full administrative control. International football officials require member bodies to conduct operations and electoral processes without outside influence. Representatives previously sought assurances regarding independence, while continental bodies warned that youth squads risk missing qualification matches if the penalty remains active past specific deadlines.
