LALITPUR: The All Nepal Football Association has earned the AFC Grassroots Charter Membership for promoting grassroots football in the country. Nepal was awarded with Bronze Membership following its outstanding achievements in the development of grassroots football, said the ANFA on its website. “We are pleased to inform you that your application for membership at the bronze level of the AFC Grassroots Charter has been approved by the AFC Grassroots Panel on 12 October,” said AFC General Secretary Windsor John in a letter.
