Seven clubs granted National License

Seven football clubs have been granted the National License ahead of the National League 2082 after successfully meeting all the requirements set under the National Club Licensing Criteria. The licensed clubs are Machhindra Football Club, APF Football Club, Tribhuvan Army Football Club, Nepal Police Club, New Road Team, Satdobato Youth Club, and Church Boys United.

The licensing process, conducted in line with ANFA’s club licensing regulations, assessed the clubs across key areas including sporting, infrastructure, personnel and administrative, legal, and financial criteria. The successful completion of this rigorous process reflects the clubs’ growing professionalism and commitment to meeting national and international standards.

With this approval, the seven clubs are now eligible to apply for and participate in the AFC Club Licensing process. This opens the door for potential participation in AFC competitions, providing an opportunity for Nepali clubs to represent the nation at the continental level and gain valuable international exposure.
