Nepal vs Bangladesh Preview

Tournament: International Friendly

Date: September 6, 2025

Kick-off Time: 11:45 AM GMT

Venue: Dasharath Stadium, Kathmandu

Nepal will welcome Bangladesh to the Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu for an international friendly. This fixture marks the return of international football on Nepal's soil after a long wait due to venue restrictions by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). Currently ranked 176th in the latest FIFA rankings, Nepal have experienced a mixed run of performances in build-up to this game. They were most recently in action against Laos in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers, where they faced a 2-1 defeat away from home.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh have undergone a slightly better patch in terms of recent outings. They also come into this game on the back of a 2-1 defeat in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers against Singapore. The Bengal Tigers have registered two wins and defeats each, along with a draw in their last five outings, including a stalemate against India back in March. The visitors have shown promising signs under their Spanish manager Javier Cabrera and will look to build upon their newly found confidence.

This game is expected to be a tight affair because both teams have been out of action since June. Nepal have an upper hand in terms of psychological advantage, having managed to remain undefeated against Bangladesh in the last five games. Both teams will be desperate to get a positive result ahead of their Asian Cup qualifier games in October.
