Nepali women’s national football team members were honored with cash awards by NIC Asia Bank on Monday evening. The team achieved a historic runner-up finish in the February WAFF football championship held in Saudi Arabia.
Each player on the runner-up squad received 25,000 rupees. Additionally, NIC Asia Bank has named goalkeeper Anjan Rana Magar a brand promoter.
This marks the Nepali team’s first appearance in the WAF Women’s Championship, where they delivered an outstanding performance en route to the finals. Despite a narrow defeat to Jordan in a penalty shootout, the team has become a source of national pride.
