Dasharath Stadium

Located at Tripureshwor, Kathmandu, the only international stadium of our country has seen lots of ups and downs through time. Yet, we have not been able to notice any remarkable efforts to upgrade it. The structures and resources are very insufficient to fulfill the ever-growing necessities of the players and also the audiences. The ticket rate is increasing with the time but the facilities are always the same. The lack of regular maintenance has been recognized time and again. Even during the international level events the Floodlight of the Ground had been seen out of order and thus causing the matches to be delayed or postponed.
Yet, the Ground has gracefully welcomed and handled some non sport events like concerts of world famous American singer Bryan Adams and Pakistani rockstar Atif Aslam. however due to absence of covering hood rain has made the audiences to run out of the stadium and the players especially football players are compelled to compromise their performance.
The necessity of other well equipped stadium in the other parts of the country is also recognized and some efforts have also been made towards that these days. But, till then we are all to be dependent upon the same old Dasharath Stadium. Hope we'll see it change itself and upgrade as per the time soon.

What's not enough?

Now and again, we have been hearing that the best players of our country return with very low performance in the international arena. We, as the audiences have almost lost our all hopes and expectations from our players. Yet, being the true fan of sports and somewhat patriotic, we never stop supporting our players. The history of Nepalese sports is not so young and we do have the history of participation in the internationally prestigious events like Olympics too. Yet , the performance is not as expected. All Nepal Football Association ANFA, has already taken an important step towards the development of Nepalese football by establishing its own ANFA complex in Satdobato, Kathmandu and taking steps in introducing and encouraging young talents. Nirajan Malla, is one of the examples of the planned and sufficient effort. National Cricket Team has also been introducing the best coaches and the Cricket is emerging as one of the most expected field of sport. The effort has also paid us back the titles like ACC championship, ACC elite cup, etc. But the other forms of sport are still unnoticed. The recent achievements in the events of Wushu, Taekwondo, etc in the SAG and Asian Games have knocked the door of the authorities and asking their attention. Still, there are many other things to be taken care of. Let's find out soon what's not enough.
