According to Senior Vice President Nemwang, though ANFA President Karma Chhiring Sherpa is willing to discuss the issue, there is no meeting due to which he had to send a letter to ANFA. Stating that some members have already resigned, one-third of the incumbents demanded a working committee meeting on the issue.
The 10 members of Nepali national football team have left the closed camp training program being held for the preparation for the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers due to the dissatisfaction against head coach of the team, Abdullah Al Mutairi.
