Although we raised a voice against sending a foreigner, Nabin Pandey, as representative of Nepal in FIFA Congress, irregularities in selling FIFA World Cup 2018 tickets allocated to Nepal and registered complaints at the Sports Council and Ministry of Youth and Sports, the concerned authorities are yet to take action against the culprits, the statement read.
