In the opening match of AFC Challenge Cup in Dasharath stadium Palestine defeated Nepal with 2 goals. If we go through the history of Nepalese football in international level, we will see the huge differences. Our top position in FIFA ranking is 124 in 1993 and 1994 and now we are in 153. We have also experienced the FIFA ranking 188 in 2008. We have the experience of best improvement that is 38 upwards in 1993 and worst performance going down 16 rank in 2007. In the recent years the performance has been improved slightly but also we have to do very hard work.
Let's hope we will win the two matches with Maldives and Turkmenistan and secure our place in semi final.
