CPN (UML) Chief Whip Mahar draws government's attention to ensure participation of Nepali women's national football team in 20th Asian Games

Kathmandu. CPN (UML) Chief Whip Ain Bahadur Mahar has drawn the government's attention to ensure the participation of the Nepali women's national football team in the 20th Asian Games to be held in Japan in 2026.

Speaking in the zero hour of the House of Representatives meeting on Wednesday, Chief Whip Mahar expressed concern over the news that women players are being deprived of that prestigious competition due to lack of budget. He said that it would be an injustice to the players and the sports sector to stop participation by making budget an excuse when passports have already been collected for the players' visa process.
