Women’s football: As Nepali players shine in India, ANFA pays them lip service

Sabitra Bhandari from Nepal is lighting up the Indian Women’s League (IWL). In seven, Bhandari, who is also known as Samba, has scored 26 goals including five hat-tricks (one seven-goal game) for Gokulam Kerala FC.

With the team yet to play more games, it is likely that her goal tally will significantly go up as Bhandari, after being the highest scorer in Nepali women’s football , has created history and has become the all-time leading goal scorer in the IWL.
