A division league is going to be conducted in Pokhara for the first time. Manang Marshyangdi Club and Nepal Police Club will be playing the first match at Pokhara Stadium. The team will also play their seventh and eighth round matches at the Pokhara Stadium, which Manang is going to use as its home ground.
On Friday, the top-ranked Machhindra Club and third-ranked Army Football Club drew in separate games, giving Manang a chance to take advantage. Defeating the police, Manang will rise to the top of the table. Which will increase the chances of the team's AFC Cup selection. In the seventh round, Manang will definitely try its best to reach the top before the match against Machhindra.
As only Machhindra, Manang, Army, and APF football clubs have got AFC licenses, only these four teams will get to play in this year's AFC Cup selection. At the end of the seventh round, the team at the top of the table will be selected for the AFC Cup. The chances of APF are low while the other three teams are competing. Machhindra has 11 points, Manang has 10 points and Army has 9 points. Sankata also has 9 points after a goalless draw with Machhindra on Friday. Police, which was defeated in the previous game due to crisis, will have an opportunity to improve its score table by defeating Manang.
In the first match to be played at Dasharath Stadium starting at 1:00 pm, there will be a competition between Castle Youth Club and Jawalakhel Youth Club. Jawalakhel, who added the first point in the previous round, will make every effort to avert the relegation threat. Castle will also try to win the game with Jawalakhel as they have not performed satisfactorily in the previous games. The second match between Three Star Club and NRT Club will start at 4:45 p.m. Three Star and NRT with the same 5 points will enter the field with the goal of winning to improve the points table.
