When one thinks of the pinnacle of live sports in Nepal, one’s mind normally meanders into an image of playing with the throngs of Nepali supporters cheering you on at Nepal’s National Stadium. The Dasrath Rangashala(stadium) has a niche name amongst the Nepalese as the stadium for all sports in Nepal. The stadium throughout its history of serving as Nepal’s one and only international stadium has had a lot of work done on it to meet international standards.

One of the more notable pieces of upgrades was at the 8th South Asian Games in 1999, where the stadium was fitted with its first floodlights and state-of-the-art sound systems along with electronic boards and new synthetic tracks across the upgraded football pitch.
