On November 16 last year, Fifa banned All Nepal Football Association (Anfa) President Ganesh Thapa for 10 years from all football-related activities after the Ethics Committee of the game’s world governing body found his involvement in bribery and corruption scandals. Many football critics believe the ouster of Thapa from Anfa has brought about the success in international arena.

“The recent results tell all the tales. We never had a dearth of football talent but he [Thapa] hand-picked players, depriving talents like Nawayug Shrestha of chances.”
Fifa’s action against Thapa, who had been at the Anfa helm since 1995, came at a time when corruption in football has been making headlines all over the world.
Karma Tsering Sherpa, who had been suspended by Thapa as Anfa vice-president, blamed the latter’s “totalitarian regime” for a long run of poor results in the past. “He used to meddle with every Anfa affair from a selection of squads to handing out instructions to coaches in the middle of a game,” said Sherpa, adding that Thapa’s ouster seemed to have relieved all the players, coaches and the management of unnecessary pressure. “At last, we can see our team is playing for the country rather than for the Anfa president.” he said.http://kathmandupost.ekantipur.com/news/2016-02-17/nepals-football-gold-a-welcome-distraction.html
