Nepal vs Indonesia Team News and Kick-off Time, How to Watch live?

The Nepal national women’s football team is set to face Indonesia today in the opening fixture of the Tri-Nation International Women’s Friendly tournament. The match will kick off at 6:15 PM Nepal Standard Time (NST) and will be broadcast live globally on the digital streaming platform FIFA+.

Head Coach Nabin Neupane expressed respect for the host nation during the pre-match press conference. He noted the tactical strength of the Indonesian side, specifically acknowledging their inclusion of players currently active in European leagues. Despite the formidable opposition, Neupane confirmed that the squad remains focused on securing a victory to start the campaign.

Nepal will compete without their prolific striker Sabitra Bhandari, who has been ruled out due to injury. Goalkeeper Anjila Tumbapo Subba will step in as captain for the match. The management views this as a significant opportunity for the wider squad to demonstrate their capabilities and fill the tactical void left by Bhandari.

This fixture marks only the second competitive meeting between the two nations. Their previous encounter occurred on April 9, 2019, during the AFC Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament. Nepal won that match 2-1, giving them a historical advantage going into today’s game.
