German Ambassador Ruediger Lemp December 3 handed over football equipment worth more than 500,00.00 NPR to Mrs. Geeta Rana, President of the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA). This donation offered by the Goethe Institut/Inter Nations, Bonn, will be received by seven training camps of Nepal’s A-division, c-division, juiors, women footballers ad the Bal Mandir children.

In a short address, the Ambassador pointed out the social importance of team sports, adding that the equipment should help promote football in the country.

ANFA President Rana, thanking for the gracious offer, stated that the equipment will be put to the best use.

This donation is just another part of Germany’s ongoing engagement for sports in Nepal, including e.g. a Ladies Football Coaching Seminar 1999.

Furthermore, on behalf of the German National Olympic Committee, FIFA soccer expert Holger Obermann will once again offer his advice and experience to Nepalese trainers and players at a coaching seminar from 04 December to 18 December.
