No grassroots: Abdullah Al Mutairi’s comment is true of Nepal football at least for the next few years

On Friday, the head coach of the Nepali men’s football team, Abdullah Al Mutairi , claimed Nepal would not qualify for Asian Cup, stating the country’s football team does not have its base at the grassroots.

There are just two months left for the qualification matches, and on the very first day of special training, the head coach made such a despondent statement. This has definitely created disappointment among the football fraternity.
