NRT withdrawal case goes into ANFA Disciplinary Committee

KATHMANDU: The Disciplinary Committee of the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) is set to impose sanction on New Road Team (NRT), who decided to stay away from all sporting activities for at least one year on Saturday. 

“We received written information today from NRT of their intent of staying out for the 2013-14 season. The Disciplinary Committee will decide on the nature of penalty to be imposed on the club,” informed ANFA spokesperson and Vice-president Lalit Krishna Shrestha. “Since such incident is totally a strange one, the disciplinary committee has the sole authority to decide on the matter.”

The last season's tournament regulation had the provision of demotion and a fine of Rs 500,000 to any club quitting the league after registering at the ANFA. But since NRT have not registered the club for the new season, it is uncertain what kind of penalty would the governing body impose on the club. 

The Special General Assembly of NRT on Saturday had decided not to take part in any sporting activity for one year and focus on paying back the debts. 

Meanwhile, ANFA spokersperson Shrestha informed all the other 13 top-flight clubs, except for NRT, were registered at the ANFA today. ANFA had set the Sunday deadline for registration. The registered clubs were League champions Three Star, Manang Marshyangdi, Tribhuvan Army, Friends, Ranipokhari Corner Team, Nepal Police, Machhindra FC, Saraswoti Youth, Himalayan Sherpa, Jawalakhel Youth, Nepal APF, Sankata and the newly promoted side Boys Union.
