FIFA Suspends All Nepal Football Association, Bars Participation in International Football
FIFA has suspended the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) with immediate effect and until further notice due to violations of FIFA statutes involving third-party interference. This suspension bars Nepal's national teams and clubs from participating in FIFA and Asian Football Confederation competitions and cuts off access to development programs and funding. ANFA has lost all membership rights, and FIFA may lift the suspension if the issues are resolved before the next FIFA Congress.
