Since Nepal does not have another international stadium, the game will be relocated outside the country.

“Due to various sporting and other activities being held at the only international stadium in Nepal, and considering time constraints for pitch maintenance, the condition of the pitch has been deemed unsatisfactory for the qualifier,” reads ANFA’s statement.
