Visa Delay

The members of the Nepali football team faced a setback when their visas didn’t arrive on time, preventing them from traveling to England for practice matches.

The team had flights scheduled at different times on Tuesday—9:30 am, 1 pm, and 7 pm—but unfortunately, they couldn’t proceed due to the delayed visas. Suresh Shah, the spokesperson for the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA), confirmed that players, coaches, and officials were unable to travel.
