Former National Team Players Protest ANFA Over Neglect of Star Striker Sabitra Bhandari's Treatment Costs
Kathmandu. Former national team captains and players protested at the ANFA Complex after the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) allegedly neglected the treatment of the national women's football team captain, Sabitra Bhandari, also known as 'Samba'.
They staged the demonstration alleging that ANFA, which has failed to conduct the league matches on time, has ignored the player's medical treatment.
Over NPR 4.1 million in aid has already been raised from abroad for 'Samba's' treatment within a single day. She had shared the 'Give a Little' link on social media on Monday for those wishing to contribute from overseas, following her formal appeal.
Following Samba's appeal, fundraising is also underway in Nepal. The Nepali Congress has also contributed NPR 500,000 through ANFA. Aid appeals are also being made by various organizations and individuals.
She is currently preparing for treatment due to a severe knee injury. However, she made a public appeal for assistance, claiming ANFA has provided no support.
