KATHMANDU: The Martyrs Memorial ‘B’ Division National Football League will kickstart on January 26.

Issuing a statement, the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) said the decision to start the ‘B’ Division League on January 26 was taken following a discussion with representatives from the ‘B’ Division club on Thursday.

ANFA has set a December 6 deadline for club registration. Likewise, it will hold a FIFA Connect Workshop on December 8-9, followed by a Club Licensing Workshop on December 10-11. Clubs will have to register players through the FIFA Connect digital platform.
