National Sports Council on Tuesday has sought a three-point clarification from All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) on issues regarding match fixing scandal, Asian Football Federation’s prohibition on U-16 football team and inclusion of three officials in ANFA’s general assembly.

Council’s Member Secretary Keshab Kumar Bista has asked ANFA to furnish written clarification within a week.  

In a statement today the Council has asked, “How did well-established players involve themselves in such a scandal? Who are responsible? And what courses of action does ANFA plans to take to prevent such occurrences in the future?” 

The Council said that AFC’s restriction has tarnished national reputation and demoralised players.
