Nepal’s national football team is playing against ‘Friends of Japan’ in a charity match to mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relation between Nepal and Japan, at ANFA complex, Satdobato on Saturday.

The visiting team will be led by former Japan international Toda Kazuyuki who represented the country during the 2002 World Cup. Besides Kazuyuki, the team will be studded with current and former players of J-League, the premier division football league of Japan, as well as other players based in foreign countries. Home team Nepal will have the same squad which was crowned the champion of AFC Solidarity Cup that concluded on Tuesday.

Kazuyuki, who also has the experience of playing in the English Premier League with Tottenham Hotspour said that he expects the game against Nepal’s national team to be interesting. “I hope many spectators will be at the stadium to watch us and hopefully we will make them happy playing beautiful game,” said Kazuyuki, who is the coach-cum-player of the team.

He also said that he watched Nepal’s matches against Brunei and Laos in Solidarity Cup and expects to beat the home team led by his former mentor. “Gyotoku Koji used to be my coach during my school days back in Japan but when I meet his team on the ground I will play for a win,” said Kazuyuki.

This charity match, being jointly organized by ANFA and Colorbath, also aims to raise funds for the development of sports and reconstruction of educational institutions hit by last years’ earthquake that rocked the country.
