According to a press release issued by the ANFA, a meeting of representatives of the ´A´ division clubs, qualified for the league, and ANFA officials made the decision. [break]
The National League will be participated by top eight teams of the Martyrs Memorial A Division League that concluded on July 16 earlier this year and top two teams of the recently concluded A division district and regional league.
ANFA will provide accommodation and transportation facilities to 24 members of each team other than the host.

Meanwhile, the meeting also decided to approve the fixture and regulation of the tournament proposed by the ANFA.
The meeting has also set a mandatory provision for the clubs to release national team players immediately after the completion of National League for the AFC Challenge Cup closed camp.

Laxmi Hyundai Manang Marshyangdi Club will take on Mitramilan Club of Sunsari in the opener of the National League as per the fixture released by ANFA on Tuesday. Similarly, Nepal Police Club will play against Sangam Club of Pokhara in another match to be held the same day.
