Kathmandu — The upcoming two-match international friendly series between Nepal and Bangladesh, scheduled for September 6 and 9 at Dasharath Stadium, will not just be routine fixtures. The All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) announced on Thursday that the series will determine an overall winner, who will be awarded a trophy and medals. According to ANFA, the aggregate result across both matches will decide the winner. In the event of a tie, the outcome will be settled via a penalty shootout. Preparations for the back-to-back friendlies at the Tripureshwar-based venue are complete, ANFA officials confirmed during a press briefing. The matches are being staged under FIFA's international window. Ticket prices have been set at Rs. 1,000 for the VIP parapet section and Rs. 500 for general parapet seating.
