The best player of the Martyr memorial San Miguel ‘A’ division league tournament will receive a Toyota Yaris car- yet to be launched — worth Rs 2.35 million.
All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) and Vaidya’s Organisation of Industries and Trading Houses (VOITH) joined hands on Saturday to award the best player of the Martyrs’ Memorial San Miguel ‘A’ Division League a car.
President of VOITH Suraj Vaidya and president of ANFA Ganesh Thapa signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the award amidst a ceremony at ANFA Complex.
The award is the biggest one in Nepal’s sports history to be received by an individual.
United Traders Syndicate Pvt Ltd, a dealer of Toyota under the VOITH, will bear half the cost of the car while rest will be borne by the ANFA.
Talking to journalists after signing the MoU, ANFA president Thapa said that the award would motivate and encourage the generation to come. “It has been our effort that footballers earn their livings playing the game,” Thapa added.
The ANFA has formed a committee under ANFA treasurer Birat Jung Shahi to select the league’s best player.
The Toyota Best Player will be chosen on his performance in the ongoing league, his contribution to the national team and his discipline during his career. 50 percent has been given for the league performance while 25 percent each in the two other categories.
