Nepal’s Neglected International Standard Football Stadium Gets Facelift Despite FIFA Ban On Football Body

Workers cut grass and carry out cleaning activities at Dasharath Stadium in Nepal on July 15, 2026. The stadium, Nepal's only international-standard sports venue, receives maintenance after a period without major sporting activities. With the onset of the monsoon season, thick grass had grown across the field, and the venue appeared neglected due to the lack of regular maintenance and events. Authorities have initiated necessary maintenance and management work to prepare the ground for future sporting events. Dasharath Stadium hosts national and international football matches and other sporting events. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
