The All Nepal Football Association (Anfa) on Sunday announced Rs 50,000 monthly financial assistance to the family of its late acting president Lalit Krishna Shrestha for the education of his two children.
Shrestha had died on June 12 due to electrocution while he was in his newly built house in Bhainsepati. He was pronounced dead soon after he was taken to hospital. He is survived by one son, one daughter and a wife. In an executive committee meeting on Sunday, the football governing body decided to provide the amount to Shrestha until the two kids complete higher secondary education.
The meeting also decided to work in creating employment for Shrestha’s widow apart from consulting with the family in providing further assistance if it requires any. Anfa will further make plea at the national and international level in providing financial assistance. The football governing body will also hold an Under-16 Championship in the memory of Three Star Club’s late President Shrestha with the finals set to be played on his death anniversary—June 12.
Additionally, Anfa will build and name a hall after Shrestha under the parapet that is under construction at the Anfa Academy grounds in Satdobato. The hall will have a bust of Shrestha. The meeting also decided on holding the Anfa general assembly on September 2.
Thapa returns to Anfa
The All Nepal Football Association (Anfa) President Ganesh Thapa has returned to his post after completing a three-month self-imposed ban as he awaits a verdict from Fifa which is investigating on the corruption charges labelled against him by his office bearers. Thapa on Sunday chaired an executive committee meeting that decided to hold its general assembly on September 2. Vice-presidents Karma Chhiring Sherpa and Bijay Narayan Manandhar, who were later suspended, had accused Thapa of misappropriating international funds, while Fifa Ethics Committee is yet to report the findings.
Thapa had gone on a four-month self-imposed ban on December 3 over the claims of financial irregularities amounting to Rs 58 million but the case was put on a hold for indefinite period by the Commi-ssion for Investigation of Abuse of Authority—the anti-corruption watchdog of the country. Thapa had went on further three-month suspension that ended on June 3 with the world football governing body still not coming up with a verdict.
