Kathmandu Kickers Qualifier Run Ends Despite Strong Team Effort

Kathmandu Kickers ended their Martyrs Memorial C Division League Qualifiers journey after the results in the final group match went against them. Although the team showed quality, fight, and discipline throughout the campaign, the outcome was not enough to take the club into the next round.

Kickers started the tournament in the best possible way with a dominant 4-0 win over FC Reale. The boys played with confidence, controlled the match from the first minute, and proved why they deserved to be in the qualifiers. That win gave the team a strong start and genuine belief for the rest of the campaign.

The second match against Freedom Fighter was the most important one. A win would have taken Kathmandu Kickers to another round, but the game did not go as planned. Kickers created chances and pushed throughout the match, yet Freedom Fighters were more clinical on the day, handing Kickers a 4-1 defeat.

Even after that loss, there was still hope. Kathmandu Kickers had a chance to qualify if FC Reale defeated Freedom Fighter in the final group match. The team and supporters watched with belief, hoping for a result that would keep the dream alive. But Freedom Fighter edged out FC Reale by 1-0, which meant Kathmandu Kickers missed out on progressing to the next round.

Although the journey ends here, the team takes pride in the performances, the passion shown by the players, and the support from everyone involved. Kathmandu Kickers will use this experience to grow stronger, learn from every match, and return even better.

The club remains committed to developing young players, promoting a positive football culture, and representing Kathmandu with dedication. The qualifiers may be over, but the mission continues.

Kathmandu Kickers Fall to Freedom Fighters but Keep Hopes Alive for Next Round

Kathmandu Kickers played their final group stage match against Freedom Fighters and suffered a tough 1-4 defeat. The loss means the Kickers now face very slim chances of progressing to the next round, but the hope is still alive. For Kathmandu Kickers to advance, FC Reale must defeat Freedom Fighters in the last group fixture.

The match itself began in unusual circumstances. Due to a conflict in the earlier game, the kick-off was delayed by around 30 minutes. As a result, the latter part of the second half had to be played in fading light, and the last few minutes were played in almost total darkness. However, the Kickers made no excuses; Freedom Fighters were the better side on the day, yet Kathmandu Kickers were not far behind in effort and competitiveness.

Coming into this decisive match, Kathmandu Kickers were full of confidence after a commanding 4-0 victory over FC Reale in their opening game. That result had given them a promising position in the group, but football can be unpredictable, and the second match brought a different challenge.

Freedom Fighters started strongly and capitalised on their chances effectively. Despite the Kickers fighting hard and pushing throughout the match, the opponents maintained their advantage and secured all three points. Kathmandu Kickers still managed to score one goal through Ingla Hang Limbu’s spectacular goal.

While the group stage ends on a disappointing note, Kathmandu Kickers remain hopeful. The team will now closely follow the result of FC Reale vs Freedom Fighters, knowing that a win for FC Reale could still send them into the next round.

Our breakthrough came in the 34th minute when Rajkumar Tamang calmly found the back of the net. His composed finish gave us a well-deserved 1–0 lead heading into halftime.
