Introduction and History of Kathmandu Kickers
Introduction
Kathmandu Kickers is a dynamic football club based in the heart of Nepal’s capital city, Kathmandu. Known for its vibrant spirit and community-centered values, the club brings together passionate footballers of all ages and backgrounds. Whether it’s through competitive matches, youth development programs, or grassroots initiatives, Kathmandu Kickers has become a key contributor to the growing football culture in Nepal.
History
Founded in the early 2010s by a group of local football enthusiasts, Kathmandu Kickers began as a small neighborhood team playing informal matches in local grounds. With time, dedication, and a strong commitment to promoting football in Kathmandu, the club gradually expanded, attracting more players, supporters, and sponsors.
By the mid-2010s, Kathmandu Kickers had established itself as a regular competitor in local leagues and tournaments. The club emphasized skill development, teamwork, and fair play—values that helped it gain recognition both on and off the field. It also became one of the first community clubs in the area to launch structured youth training camps and women’s participation programs.
Over the years, Kathmandu Kickers has seen several of its players go on to represent larger clubs and even national youth teams. The club continues to invest in player development, coaching quality, and community outreach, with a vision to build a sustainable football culture rooted in local pride and inclusive growth.
Today, Kathmandu Kickers stands as more than just a football club—it is a symbol of unity, perseverance, and the love of the beautiful game in Kathmandu.
We Believe
Sports practice has both positive and negative influences on society. In addition, it is well known that people who have a sports routine in their day-to-day lives have a better and more lasting quality of life than those who have more sedentary habits. Above all, an essential factor in exercising is that it can help us prevent diseases such as hypertension or obesity, which are increasingly common at an early age. Sports can help develop physical skills, exercise, socialize, have fun, learn to play as part of a team, learn to play fair, and improve self-esteem. Sport helps children’s physical development by improving and strengthening their physical and mental capacity.
Sport contributes to establishing social relationships between different people and cultures and thus contributes to instilling the notion of respect for others, teaching how to compete constructively without making antagonism an end. Another significant social value in sports is learning to win and recognize defeat without sacrificing goals and objectives.
Sport is a transmitter of values in the different evolutionary stages. In this sense, encouraging children and adolescents to practice any sport instills educational values in the children. On the one hand, it allows the child to socialize with other equals, and on the other hand, it is a guarantee of good health and prevention of obesity.
