ANFA says it will bear all of Aashish Rai’s treatment costs despite funding delay

Summary

The All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) confirmed its commitment to cover injured footballer Aashish Rai's treatment costs despite delays caused by its FIFA suspension and financial restrictions.

Key Points
  • ANFA stated it remains committed to covering all treatment expenses for footballer Aashish Rai despite recent funding delays.
  • The funding delay is attributed to ANFA's FIFA suspension and the freezing of its financial transactions by the National Sports Council.
  • Aashish Rai sustained a serious leg injury during Nepal U-23's friendly match in February last year and has undergone treatment in Nepal, China, and Thailand.
  • ANFA will resume payments and treatment once the legal and administrative issues surrounding its suspension are resolved.
