Dasharath Rangasala is Nepal's national stadium. It has two stands. The stand in the west (pictured) is the main stand. It is an all seater stand with about 5,000 seats and 60% of them are covered. The other stand surrounds the other three sides of the field and follows the contours of the running track. It is all terrace and holds around 15,000.

All significant international matches and domestic football matches, including local club matches are played at this facility. Dasharath Rangasala is Nepal's only standard stadium.

The ANFA Sadobato Complex houses the offices of the All Nepal Football Association and also holds a players dormitory, and also a small 1,000 capacity terrace stand on the South side. The facility is used for national team training and some 2nd division and youth matches. The complex was made in part by a grant from FIFA.
 



Anapurna Stadium



Location:
Pokhara
Club: (Various)
Capacity: appx. 5,000
Seats:
Covered seats: appx. 200
Built: ??

As with all sports facilities in Nepal, Anapurna Stadium is a dilapidated venue in one of the most beautiful places on earth. The stadium is located on the outskirts of the main part of Pokhara. There is an abundance of flat land around the stadium and it can easily be expanded. The stadium sits in a large sports complex that belongs to the Nepal Sports Council, thus it is unlikely that any improvements will be made to it anytime soon. While the pitch looks to be in good shape in the photos, often it is very muddy and cattle graze on the grass  regularly.
