Feb 17, 2016- For a country devastated by the earthquakes in April and May last year and widespread suffering brought along by India’s unofficial blockade, Nepali football team has given their countrymen something to cheer about.

Nepal beat perennial rivals India 2-1 in their own backyard to win football gold at the 12th South Asian Games on Monday. The victory ended a 23-year wait for gold in football at the regional Games.

It has come as a big relief to Nepali football that was dogged by corruption scandal and match-fixing of late.
