Why Bagmati’s Football Investment Matters
Municipality chair Sarkesh Ghalan said the competition aims to identify talented players and support football’s development and professionalization. He also said the municipality operates a self-funded football academy and has built stadium spectator stands.
Our take: the academy deserves as much attention as the prize cheque. Local football coverage should scrutinize player development, not just celebrate payouts.
