KATHMANDU, Nov 9: In the voting process during the special general meeting of All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) held in Hetauda on Thursday, the no-confidence motion against ANFA President Pankaj Bikram Nembang was rejected.

Out of a total of 53 votes cast, 52 were in favor of retaining Nembang, while one vote was deemed invalid. The members who had submitted the motion of no confidence chose to boycott the voting program. ANFA has a total of 87 votes, with 34 individuals excluded from the voting process. Therefore, the term of Nembang in the position of ANFA President will continue.

ANFA President Nembang stated that the confusion within the football sector has now been cleared. He said that a special general meeting was called to address the issue, but despite numerous discussions, a conclusion could not be reached. ANFA General Secretary Kiran Rai also expressed the belief that this will put an end to all issues related to the ANFA President, allowing the football sector to move forward. Outgoing ANFA President Karma Tsering Sherpa, on the other hand, stated that he would continue to raise concerns about the irregularities committed by the current ANFA leadership.

In September, a majority of ANFA members submitted a petition to ANFA demanding the dismissal of President Nembang along with General Secretary Kiran Rai with 19 allegations, including one that the current leadership was unable to execute its duties and that ANFA President and General Secretary have been actively engaged in actions detrimental to Nepali football.
