Speaking at the press meet after the match against Sri Lanka, the head coach of the Nepali national team Abdullah Almutairi raised the issue of overseas players. Arguing that the team would be stronger if it could include overseas players, he said that he had talked to some foreign players of Nepali origin.
Teams like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in South Asia have been trying to include non-resident players of their origin in the squad. Such players were also present in the Sri Lankan team in the match against Nepal under the SAAF Championship. Dillian de Silva, who scored a penalty against Nepal, is one of the those players.
Similarly, Bangladesh also tried to play Nigeria-born Aletta Kingsley. But due to lack of permission from FIFA, Aletta, who was included in the 26-man squad, did not get a place in the final squad. After the match against Sri Lanka, Nepal's coach Abdullah said that being an overseas player would help in the development of South Asian football.
If there is an overseas player, the team will be stronger, they have Sri Lanka, 'he said,' I also talked to such players from Nepal. However, there are no rules for players with passports outside Nepal to play. '
