ANFA drafts
ambitious programmes
Post Report
KATHMANDU, Dec 5 - The newly
elected executive committee of All Nepal Football Association (ANFA), under Geeta Rana,
presented their programme for the coming year at a function held at the ANFA complex,
Saatdobato on Wednesday.
At the first press conference
after the election, Geeta Rana, president of the association, said that the plans put
forward in the proposal would be implemented through decentralisation of the ANFA.
"We need to go for decentralisation as most of our activities are at the local
level," Rana said.
The ambitious proposal,
passed by the central executive committee, stresses on initiating competitive football at
the ward level and school level. Besides, the programme also concentrates on development
of football infrastructure across the country and bringing corporate sponsorship in the
game.
Rana, however, conceded that
the association’s primary objective is getting recognition of Asian Football
Confederation (AFC).
"We are in constant
touch with the AFC," she said. "As the election was carried out according to AFC
guidelines, we expect AFC to recognise our committee as the football governing body in
Nepal."
Fielding reporters’
queries on the long-standing ANFA dispute, Rana said that the problem could be resolved if
the other party headed by Ganesh Thapa so wishes.
"We are ready to join
forces with them," she said. "Although any change in the present executive
committee is not possible, we can accommodate them in any of the sub-committees under
ANFA."
