The '''Nepal women's national football team''' is controlled by the [[All Nepal Football Association]] and represents [[Nepal]] in international [[Women's association football|women's football]] competitions. The Women's Football Department has been developed to control and manage the women's football activities. The official motto of women's football in Nepal is "Football for Change". It is a member of the [[Asian Football Confederation]] and the [[South Asian Football Federation]] and has yet to qualify for the [[FIFA Women's World Cup|World Cup]].

==History==
{{Unreferenced section|date=October 2018}}

===Formation===
[[File:First International game.jpg|thumb| First international football game in the Nepali women's football in 1984]]
Nepal formed a women's national team in the mid-1980s and debuted in the [[1986 AFC Women's Championship]]. During the start of the tournament, Nepal played their first official match against [[Hong Kong women's national football team|Hong Kong]] (14 December 1986), which they lost with a score of 1–0. Nepal women's side also participated in the final three phases of the Asian Cup in 1986, 1989 and 1999, never going beyond the group stages. Nepal proved to be in a difficult group with former champions [[Thailand women's national football team|Thailand]], alongside [[Indonesia women's national football team|Indonesia]] and [[Hong Kong women's national football team|Hong Kong]], two relatively strong teams. As a result, Nepal had lost all three matches, two of them jarringly, while the match against Hong Kong proved to be a steady profit. In 1989 Nepal played again in the championship, against the same opponents, except that Thailand was substituted against Japan. This resulted in meagre points for Nepal, who lost every game by a wide margin, the smallest 0–3 against Hong Kong.

Nepal's FIFA First Vice President was [[Kamal Thapa]]. Nepal's first woman captain was [[Rama Singh]] when the Nepali women's football team was created, [[Kamal Thapa (footballer)|Kamal Thapa]] was the president of the [[All Nepal Football Association]]. Singh, who represented the [[Bagmati Zone|Bagmati]] team, started playing in 1985. The second national team's captain was [[Kamala Hirachan]] who also represented the [[Gandaki Zone|Gandaki]] team and the third women captain was [[Meera Chaudhary]] who represented [[Narayani Zone|Naryani]] team. Singh later became the first newsreader in Nepali television history, and Chaudhary has held a rank of DSP in Nepal police. The first female international goal scorer of Nepal is [[Pema Dolma Lama]], who scored a goal against Uzbekistan at the 1999 AFC Women's Championship held in Philippines.

===Crisis years===
As a result of the democracy uprising in 1990, there was an eight-year period without a women's national team. This negatively affected player recruitment, but nevertheless Nepal soon returned to international football during the [[AFC Women's Asian Cup|Women's Asian Cup]] in 1999. Despite their triumphant return, the results were about the same as before the eight-year hiatus. The championship ended in the group-stage with [[Japan women's national football team|Japan]], [[Thailand women's national football team|Thailand]], [[Uzbekistan women's national football team|Uzbekistan]] and the [[Philippines women's national football team|Philippines]], where Nepal lost all four games. Since then, Nepal has not appeared in the Women's Asian cup. Former men's national team technical director, [[Holger Obermann]] served as the technical advisor for the ''Chelis'' during their 1999 campaign.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/ne/football/archive.html|title=NFH – Archived News|website=Angelfire|access-date=4 March 2016}}</ref>

However, this did not mean that Nepal had not played football since 1999. The [[Mangladevi League]], roughly a month-long women's football tourney, was set up trying to bring in women football players across the country. It was played in early 2000, in a league-cum-knockout basis. It was an initiative taken by a single person, but sadly discontinued after a year.<ref>{{cite web|title=Off-side: In support of the Nepali women footballers|url=http://www.ekantipur.com/the-kathmandu-post/2012/09/21/sports/off-side-in-support-of-the-nepali-women-footballers/239928.html|website=[[The Kathmandu Post]]|access-date=12 August 2014}}</ref>

Nepal had a long period without matches, but they impressed many in the [[Football at the 2010 South Asian Games - Women's tournament|South Asian Games in 2010]], where they reached the final after beating several opponents by a wide margin. In the finals they lost narrowly 1–3 against the big favorite [[India women's national football team|India]]. This gave the national team a much needed recognition. The 11th South Asian Games also were the first to host a women's football event as well.<ref name=":2">{{Cite news|url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0watIPE5nI|title = Nepali football – Sportsworld|last = Richardson|first = Andy|date = 5 March 2009|work = Al-Jazeera Sportsworld|access-date = 4 January 2016|via = YouTube}}</ref> In the opening match of the 2010 South Asian Games, Nepal women's U23 faced hosts Bangladesh, where they won with a single goal. The second match against Sri Lanka proved to be more illustrious as victory came in the form of 8 goals while holding a clean sheet. However, the scoring spree was short lived as the third group-stage match against India saw a heavy 0–5 loss. Nevertheless, Nepal had done enough to qualify for the second round (semi finals) against Pakistan which they won with a resounding 7–0 scoreline. This meant that Nepal would face a difficult rematch against India in the finals, although any result would ensure a medal at the very least for the Chelis. Despite finally ending the scoring drought against India, the game was lost 1–3. Despite putting on a valiant performance, the Chelis returned home with a silver medal which came to the delight of many supporters of Nepali football due to the rarity of the occasion.

===Regeneration===
The regeneration of women's football in Nepal was first realised when after the national leagues were reinstated in 2009. The women's national team prior to this hadn't played an international game for 5 years. Nevertheless, the ''Chelis'' began training for two upcoming major international tournaments in the following year. In 2010, Nepali women footballers returned with two runner-up trophies, one from the [[Football at the 2010 South Asian Games - Women's tournament|11th South Asian Games]], and the other from the [[2010 SAFF Women's Championship|SAFF Women's Football Championship]]. Despite limited training, resources and less attention compared to the men's team, the women's team performed exceedingly well. In the South Asian Games, they defeated Sri Lanka 8–0, and in SAFF they thrashed Afghanistan 13–0 and Pakistan 11–0. Striker [[Anu Lama]] was the star of SAFF, scoring three hat-tricks to be declared the best player of the tournament. However, the team was defeated 0–5 by India in the SAG final, but it was a much more closely fought match when they lost 0–1 to the same team in the SAFF final recently.

Following the team's 2010 regeneration, the women's side's FIFA ranking rose by 22 places.<ref>{{cite web|title=FIFA Rankings Nepal Women's National Team|url=https://www.fifa.com/associations/association=nep/ranking/gender=f/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070709072825/http://www.fifa.com/associations/association=nep/ranking/gender=f/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 9, 2007|access-date=24 February 2014}}</ref>

The team's home stadium is the [[Dasarath Rangasala Stadium]], a multi-purpose stadium in central [[Kathmandu]].

It is named after [[Dashrath Chand]], one of Nepal's martyrs. Prior to the 2013 SAFF Championship in Nepal, the [[Dasarath Rangasala Stadium|Dasarath Rangasala]] underwent heavy renovation that saw several improvements such as the expansion of seats from 20,000 to 25,000.<ref>{{Cite web |title=You are being redirected... |url=https://thehimalayantimes.com/multimedia/photo-gallery/in-pictures-renovation-of-dasarath-rangasala-on-a-war-footing/ |access-date=2024-09-02 |website=thehimalayantimes.com}}</ref>
