SPORTS BRIEFS: ANFA seeks postponement of U-22 qualifiers

REPUBLICA

KATHMANDU, May 28: All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) has asked the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to postpone the AFC U-22 Asia Cup Qualifiers scheduled to be held in Kathmandu from June 2 to 10. ANFA has cited political instability and latest unrest in Nepal as the reason behind recommending postponing the tournament. According to ANFA President Ganesh Thapa, ANFA has already corresponded with AFC to postpone tournament.

“We have sent a letter informing AFC about the political situation over here and our inability to host the tournament from Saturday,” said Thapa.

Thapa said even if the political situation became normal, ANFA lacks the time for preparation. “However, the qualifying round of the tournament will be held in Nepal. It may be postponed for at least for one week to a month,” said Thapa. Nepal was to host Jordan, Yemen, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan in the AFC U-22 Asia Cup Group D Qualifiers.
