Nepal, a dominant force in South Asian women’s football, has been knocking on the door of the SAFF Women’s Championship title for years. Despite reaching the finals five times in the past six editions, the team has fallen just short of victory, finishing as runners-up each time. This year, the team is determined to finally break the cycle and claim the title on home soil.
In previous encounters with Bhutan, Nepal has been nothing short of commanding. The two teams have faced off four times, with Nepal emerging victorious in all matches without conceding a single goal. With an astonishing 23 goals scored against Bhutan, Nepal enters this fixture as the clear favorite. However, this history adds pressure on both sides—Nepal to maintain their dominance and Bhutan to prove they can challenge the favorites.
The stakes couldn’t be higher for Nepal, who are not only playing to win their first SAFF Women’s Championship title but also to break the jinx that has seen both their men’s and women’s senior teams fall short of glory in this tournament. Playing on home turf offers an added incentive, and the team is fired up to make history in front of their home fans.
As the tournament unfolds, all eyes will be on whether Nepal can finally lift the elusive SAFF Women’s Championship trophy. Will this be the year that ends Nepal’s wait for football glory? Nepali supporters are ready to cheer on their team as the journey toward the championship begins.
