ANFA Announced National Team 23-member Squad Against Yemen


All Nepal National Football Association (ANFA) has officially announced the list of squad members for AFC Asia Cup Qualifiers against Yemen.

Nepal Striker Karna Limbu has been dropped by Japanese Coach and Anil Gurung is called back to the National Team after his two matches absence at Mumbai and Manila.

Alongside Limbu,  Bimal Basnet, Suman Lama and Bishal Shrestha are also excluded from the squad. Defenders Rabin Shrestha and Rajin Dhimal are out due to injury.


On the very first match of AFC Asia Cup Qualifiers, Nepal lost to Philippines by 4-1 and Nepal is pressured to at least keep a clean sheet against Yemen to increase their chances of qualifying for AFC Asia Cup UAE 2019.

Nepal is facing Yemen in their second match of the qualifying round of Group F on 13th June at Halchowk Stadium at 3 pm and it will be difficult but not impossible to beat Yemen.
