After not succeeding in five successive attempts since 2013 and not taking part in the 2023 football qualifiers, Nepal is targeting to be eligible for the AFC Asian Cup men’s football competition. Head coach Nabin Neupane claimed that the squad comprising four senior team players has been training over a period of two months and is now vowing to prove the critics wrong. Nepal is grouped with Syria, the Philippines, and host Tajikistan. And having 44 teams across 11 groups, only group winners and the best runners-up will have a spot in the 2026 Finals in Saudi Arabia.
