Ross’s Nepal aren’t just chasing wins—they’re building belief

Head coach Matt Ross and skipper Kiran Chemjong say the bonding between players and their determination have improved since the high-altitude training in Manang.

In early May, the Nepali national men’s football team travelled to Manang for a six-day high-altitude training camp . The crisp air of the Himalayas was beneficial to the team, according to head coach Matt Ross. It wasn’t just about altitude, he remarks, but also about attitude.
