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.
