What went wrong for Nepal in SAFF Women’s Championship in Goa

Another SAFF disappointment has intensified concerns over whether Nepal can finally turn promise into silverware before a celebrated era comes to an end.

Nepali players’ heads were down. They were not talking with one another. Head coach Nabin Neupane, who always puts up a smile, also looked devastated. The Nepali team had just suffered a 1-2 loss against Bangladesh in the semifinal of the SAFF Women’s Championship at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa, India, on Wednesday.
