Machhindra Football Club emerged victorious in a nail-biting finale, securing the title of the ANFA U-16 Youth League after a hard-fought 2-1 triumph over Tribhuvan Army Football Club in their last match.
Heading into the crucial fixture, table-toppers Machhindra knew they had to secure a victory to clinch the championship. Meanwhile, second-placed Sankata Club's title aspirations were dashed as they suffered a 6-2 defeat against Nepal Police Club, allowing APF Football Academy to overtake them for second place in the standings.
In a tense encounter, Dakshya Lama gave Army the lead in the 33rd minute, but Bhupendra Dharala equalized for Machhindra in the 51st minute. The match reached a fever pitch as Machhindra secured the win and the title with a dramatic penalty converted by Kabir Tamang in the fifth minute of added time.
Champions Machhindra won the cash prize of Rs 100,000 while APF collected Rs 50,000.
ANFA officials, including Vice President Deepak Khatiwada, General Secretary Kiran Rai, and Ex-Co member Bikash Narayan Shrestha, CEO Indraman Tuladhar, Spokesperson Suresh Shah presided over the award ceremony, presenting certificates and medals to the victorious Machhindra Football Club.

Nepal's hopes in the SAFF U-19 Women's Championship were dashed after a challenging 4-0 defeat to India at the BSSSMK Stadium in Dhaka on Tuesday.
Needing a victory against India to advance to the finals, Nepal fought valiantly but ultimately fell short against a strong Indian side. With this win, India secures their place in the finals against Bangladesh on February 8.
In a tightly contested first half, Nepal managed to hold off India's attacks and keep the scoreline goalless. However, India found their rhythm in the second half, with Neha breaking the deadlock in the 54th minute.
Neha's second goal in the 81st minute extended India's lead, followed by Sulanjana Raul's strike in the 86th minute. Despite Nepal's late efforts, Cindy Colney sealed the victory for India with a goal in added time.
Nepal had bounced back with a 1-0 victory over Bhutan having lost their opening match against hosts Bangladesh.
