More match fixing scandals!
02 June 2003: The recently concluded Khukuri Cup was beset with match fixing controversies. The first part of the final round consisted of four groups of three teams, thus the teams playing the final game of the group stage knew exactly what they needed to do to advance. The matches between Three Star Club and RCT, and the one between Sankata Sports Club and MMC were suspected to be rigged as the scorelines of both games posted the perfect scores to see both sets of teams advance to the quarterfinals. It was blatantly apparent by the play of the respective clubs that there were some shady dealings going on in the field. ANFA dismissed all the charges of match fixing brought to it.
