The Nepal vs Bangladesh second international football friendly was cancelled due to the unrest in the Himalayan nation amid protests by the 'Gen Z' of the country. The Himalayan nation witnessed its youth protest against the political leadership, the immediate reason for it being the ban on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and X. The government banned these platforms after they did register with the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology in Nepal. Nepal Gen Z protests saw around 19 people lose their lives while many others sustained injuries. Amidst this, the Nepal vs Bangladesh friendly match, which was supposed to be held at the Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu, was called off, the ANFA (All Nepal Football Association). Also the BFF (Bangladesh Football Federation) issued a statement on the players' delay in returning to the country with a report claiming they would be back in Bangladesh by 3 pm local time. CAFA Nations Cup 2025: India Football Team Beats Oman 3–2 on Penalties To Secure Bronze Medal.
