KATHMANDU, Sept 15: An executive committee meeting of All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) on Thursday decided to pay compensation of Rs 15 million to the Three Star Club.
However the decision will have to be endorsed by the ANFA’s extraordinary congress scheduled for October 9.
The Three Star was deprived of playing the AFC Asian Club play-off matches due to the negligence of ANFA. Therefore, the Lalitpur-based club had demanded the Rs 60 million in damages. But later the two sides had settled on the amount of Rs 15 million.
