OUR NEEDS: WHAT WE ARE LACKING OF

It is believed easy to say but difficulty to do, collecting players to train is easy but to manage them to get free and long term training is a difficult task. We have determined ourselves, we have dreamed of standardising the level of Nepalese football, we have though to do the difficult and challenging job, therefore, we could add positive step in the national development. At present, KAF has managed the training and does the volunteer efforts. We hope our aim will be flourished by getting supports of investment, suggestion, co-operation and other necessary assistance from our good wishers and nation, peace and football loving individuals and groups. In the other hand the country has been practicing as a democratic state and peace is ultimately present need. Meanwhile, we have aimed to mobilize our football players who join with KAF in the development of local community and peace settlement. Development is not an automatic device which can produce the effect magically, it’s a process. After all slowly and steadily we involve our young players in this process.
