KATHMANDU, Nov 11: The First Women´s League Football Tournament will be held in Dhangadhi, Kailali from December 15 to 29. All Nepal Football Association (ANFA), issuing a press statement on Sunday, informed that three departmental teams -- Nepal Army, Armed Police Force and Nepal Police -- and five regional teams would participate in the tournament.



According to ANFA, the tournament will be played in league-cum-knockout format. Participating teams will be divided in two pools and the top two teams from each pool will qualify for the semifinals after the round robin league.[break]



Earlier, ANFA had said that A division clubs would participate in the Women´s League. ANFA CEO Indra Man Tuladhar said that some of the A division clubs had tried to form women´s teams but ANFA was forced to change the league structure as they failed to do so. "Clubs were found reluctant to form women´s teams as they found huge gap between the departmental teams and other teams," said Tuladhar.



ANFA is hopeful that the league will take a proper shape in future, said Tuladhar. "Starting a women´s league is a challenge in itself. We are hopeful that clubs will show interest and form women´s teams in future," said Tuladhar.
