Blazing Trails: Anjila & Gita’s Pioneering Path in NepaliWomen’s Football

by with No Comment BlogSethu FC Players

In the lush landscapes of Nepal, where the majestic Himalayas stand tall, two remarkable women have been carving their path in the world of football. Anjila Tumbapo Subba and Gita Rana, both hailing from different backgrounds but bound by their love for the beautiful game, have emerged as prominent figures in Nepali women’s football.


Anjila, a formidable goalkeeper, and Gita, a tenacious defender, share their inspiring journey from humble beginnings to representing their nation on the international stage. From playing with friends in their hometowns to donning the national jersey, their story epitomizes the resilience and determination of Nepali women in pursuing their sporting dreams.


Their journey hasn’t been without challenges. Discrimination, limited opportunities, and lack of resources were constant hurdles they had to overcome. Yet, fueled by their passion for the game, they persevered, breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations of female footballers in Nepal.

Despite the obstacles, Anjila and Gita’s dedication and hard work paid off when they earned spots in Sethu FC, a renowned club in India. The exposure and experience gained from playing in a competitive environment have been invaluable, shaping them into better players and ambassadors for Nepali football.


Anjila reflects on the disparities that persist in women’s football, both in Nepal and globally. She notes, “For me, at the moment, I feel that India is moving forward better than us, Nepal Football. Because in India, if you look at their football calendar, there are so many games for Indian women’s team. There are games for senior team, also for junior teams, university teams, then there is Khelo India. There are so many competitions going on here, but, in Nepal, there are no games for junior players at all. There is no single good tournament for anyone.”


Meanwhile, Gita shares her perspective on perseverance and hard work, stating, “Hard work is the key. Keep putting the effort on. If you don’t get it in the first time, or the second time, keep trying. You will succeed the next time.”


As they continue to inspire young girls across Nepal with their remarkable journey, Anjila and Gita’s story serves as a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and unwavering passion in overcoming obstacles and chasing one’s dreams in the world of football.
