Nepal jumped 22 places up on The FIFA world rankings

 KATHMANDU, APR 14 -

The FIFA world rankings on Wednesday showed Nepal’s good performance this month.



Nepal jumped 22 places up; a giant leap from 172 to the 150 spot, just four places behind neighbouring India.



Nepal played five international matches, of which, they won three. Nepal downed Bhutan 1-0 and 2-1 in a friendly match series consisting of two matches.



In the AFC Challenge Cup Ground ‘D’ qualifiers at the Dashrath Stadium through April 7-11, they played three matches, where the outcome was a win, a draw and a loss. They kicked off the tournament with a 1-0 victory over Afghanistan, while they bowed down 0-1 to North Korea and were restricted to a goalless draw in the match against Sri Lanka.



Afghanistan, too, went up 21 places and are currently 174th in the world ranking.



World Cup winner Spain stayed at the top of the FIFA rankings and the previous two champions, Brazil and Italy, rose in the top 10.



World Cup finalist, the Netherlands, remained No 2, and Brazil climbed two places to No 3.



Brazil overtook archrival Argentina after beating Scotland 2-0 in a friendly.



Germany, which lost a home friendly against Australia, fell one spot to No 4. Argentina dropped to the fifth after drawing friendlies against the United States and Costa Rica.



Italy ended a seven-month exile from the top 10. The 2006 World Cup winner rose two places to No 9 following wins last month against Slovenia in a European Championships qualifier and a friendly in Ukraine.



Asian champion Japan rose to No 13, continuing a surge since the World Cup last June when it was placed 45th.



Bosnia-Herzegovina rose 12 to No 44 after beating Romania, but has since been suspended by FIFA. The federation must rewrite its statutes before being allowed to travel to Romania for the return match in June.



Albania placed a best-ever No 50 after a Euro 2012 win against Belarus.



Libya jumped 13 to its best of No 58 after beating Comoros in an African Cup qualifier. The match was played in neutral Mali because Tripoli was too dangerous to host football.



New Zealand led Oceania teams at No 60, down four places.



Future World Cup hosts Russia and Qatar dropped in status after drawing a friendly in Doha staged to celebrate their success.



Russia, which also drew a Euro 2012 qualifier in Armenia, fell five to No. 13, and No. 91 Qatar fell one place.



The rankings graded international teams over a four-year cycle of results, and took account of 124 matches played in the last five weeks.

Nepal qualified for AFC finals 2012

KATHMANDU; Nepal qualified for the AFC Challenge Cup finals after a goalless draw against Sri Lanka in their last Group ‘D’ qualifying match here at the Dasharath Stadium today.

With a win, loss and draw, Nepal earned four points to finish group runners-up behind defending champions DPR Korea, who defeated Afghanistan 2-0 for their third successive win in the other match of the day. The Koreans finished with maximum nine points from three matches. Nepal will now join Palestine, Philippines, India, Turkmenistan, Maldives and Tajikistan in the finals with the venue and date yet to be finalised.

Nepal’s English coach Graham Roberts said he was proud of the team’s showing though the team couldn’t score against the depleted Sri Lankans who were dubbed a weaker opponent after their shock defeat against Afghanistan. “Three matches in five days and to come with this result is satisfying. They have improved a lot and I am really proud of them,” said the coach.

Nepal couldn’t create much of the scoring chances despite having greater ball possession. The first real chance for Nepal came in the 21st minute when Biraj Maharjan dropped a long pass in the Lankan area but Anil Gurung couldn’t chase the ball to muff a one-on-one situation. Anil also shot off target in the 36th minute.

At the stroke of the half time, Bharat Khawas managed to penetrate the Sri Lankan defense only to end up passing poorly. As against the Koreans, Nepal were setting up the pace well and dominated Sri Lanka from the start of the second half but failed to find the back of the net.

Roberts then made two changes after the break bringing in Santosh Shahukhala and Raju Tamang in place of Bharat and midfielder Nirajan Khadka. However, the substitution payed no dividend. Sri Lanka struggled to penetrate Nepali defense and hardly bothered the Nepali glovesman Kiran Kumar Limbu (Chemjong).

Roberts said Nepal played for a win. “We tried really hard to score, especially in the second half but we couldn’t,” he said. The coach was all praise of his skipper Sagar Thapa who played the match despite sustaining ankle injury during the Korea match on Saturday. “He is really brave to have played full 90 minutes despite being not being fully fit,” the coach added.

At the Armed Police Force (APF) Headquarters grounds in Halchowk, Choe Kum Chol and Ri Chol Myong scored for the DPR Korea in a game the 2010 world Cup finalists dominated entire. Despite dominating from the start they needed first half added-on time to break the deadlock.

Unmarked Chol pounced on a long pass from midfield to poke in the first goal just second before going into the break. Chol compensated on his 27th minute miss when he failed to beat Afghanistan goalkeeper Mansur faqiryar in one-on-one encounter.

The Koreans continued their assault even after the break creating numerous chances but the Afghani defense held firm until the 69th minute when Myong converted the second goal following a corner kick from Jong Il Gwan. Korea also wasted a spot kick in the 62nd minute. Faisal Sakhizada tripped Kim Kuk Jin inside the area and the former stepped in to take the strike only for the midfielder to shoot high above the bar.

The DPR Korea coach Yun Jong Su said they are yet to analyse their performance in the tournament. “It’s not long that I took the reins of the national team. Apart from three players who represented in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, rest of the squad members are new and young.”

Despite the narrow margin wins they came up during the tournament, the Korean coach believed there was an immense gulf between them and their opponents’ game. Su said he is still scrutinising the strength and weaknesses of his young team in a bid to build a strong side for future.

Su’s Afghanistan counterpart Mohammad Yousuf Kargar was satisfied with the performance of his team. “This result against a side, who represented in the World Cup, is not bad at all,” said Kargar adding that even the two goals the Koreans scored had largely to do with the luck rather than their good play. “This was a tough group and so we do not have any qualms for not making it to the finals,” added Kargar.

“The Golf is a hatchback suitable for those looking for a small but spacious four-wheeler,” said Sarik Bogati, assistant marketing manager at Pooja International. “The Golf is a hatchback, but its size is closer to a sedan.

“Safety is the major concern of Volkswagen while manufacturing a car. So the Golf is also equipped with all those security measurements that are maintained by the company in all of its machines,” said Neeraj Shrestha, deputy sales manager at Pooja International. “Along with safety

features, the Golf is equipped with so many features that people will be enthralled

to know about them. The car comes with 10 air bags.”He added that the car was expected to go well with those who look for value in whatever they purchase. “The Golf is totally an experiment in the Nepali market, and we are hopeful that the car will be successful in attracting people,” added Bogati. “We have targeted sales of around four units monthly, and we have orders for the next four-five months.”

Pooja International provides a two-year warranty on the Golf. It maintains a service centre at the Balaju Industrial Estate, Kathmandu. The company has also received an ISO certificate.

Second International Airport of nepal to be on the runway by 2015

KATHMANDU, APR 11 -
If all goes well, construction of the much talked about Second International Airport (SIA) in Nijgadh, Bara, will start by April next year, government officials said on Sunday.
Officials at the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoTCA) made such statement during the submission of the Detailed Feasibility Study Report carried out by Korea’s Landmark Worldwide Company (LMW) on the ministry premises. The airport will be developed under the ‘build own operate and transfer’ (BOOT) model.
Although the LMW study said the single-runway airport’s construction—if started this year—could be completed by 2015 for commercial operation, necessary legal procedures to be followed by the government has delayed the project by a year.
“The comprehensive report submitted today will be briefed to the prime minister, other ministers and high-level government officials,” said MoTCA secretary Kishore Thapa.
According to Thapa, after the briefing, the high-level BOOT committee will start the investors selection process—which will take at least six months—and negotiations with selected investors will take an additional six months.
However, the government has two options for awarding the project to investors. First one is ‘request for proposal (RFP)’—which is based on selection process—and the second, under the BOOT Act section-9—which says that the project can directly be awarded to any interested investors. “The BOOT Act says that the Rs 2-billion project can be awarded directly to any investors without calling for RFP,” according to the officials.

As SIA is a government prioritised project and LMW is showing interest in the project since 2007, the Korean company has high chances of winning the project. “Although, MoTCA has assured prioritising the project to LMW, which of the options to be adopted will be finalised through a political decision,” Thapa added.
In the recommendation of the BOOT committee, the project will be forwarded to the Cabinet to decide on which option to be adopted.
On March 8, 2010, the government had awarded the contract for carrying out a detailed feasibility study to LMW. The company has invested $3.55 million for the detailed and design feasibility study.
LMW Senior Vice President Seung-Hyung Lee is also optimistic that the government would acknowledge their efforts made in the project over the last 4 years. “We hope that the government will recognise our efforts and will assign the project development to us.”
SIA will cover 3,000 hectares of land (2,000 hectares for airport and remaining for airport city). LMW’s feasibility study said the proposed airport could handle 15 million passengers until 2030 and even accommodate the super-jumbo Airbus A380 after the first phase of construction.
The estimated cost for the first phase, according to the feasibility study, would be $ 650 million. The proposed airport Apron has 15 stands for international carriers, four stands for domestic and two for cargo flights.
The first passenger terminal has an area of 75,500 square metre, six boarding gates, 34 check-in counters, six security inspection counters, 35 immigration counters, eight customs inspection counters and six baggage claim counters.
By the end of the third phase of construction, the airport will have a parallel runway, enabling it to handle 60 million passengers annually.“The study said the Kathmandu-Tarai fast track should be completed at least six months before the commencement of the airport. “Without completing the fast track at least six months in advance, the airport cannot start commercial operation,” said Binay Rawal, LMW representative in Nepal.

Asian Development Bank to invest in Upper Seti hydro project

KATHMANDU, APR 08 -
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has said that it is willing to invest in the 127 MW Upper Seti Hydroelectric Project located in Damauli in Tanahun district.
The government of Nepal and the ADB reached an understanding to this effect during ADB Vice President Xiaoyu Zhao’s recent visit to Nepal when he met with Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal and Finance Minister Bharat Mohan Adhikari.
“Vice President Zhao told the prime minister and the finance minister about ADB’s willingness to invest in the project,” said ADB Country Director Barry Hitchcock. “This project is attractive for us as it already has a road and other infrastructure,” added Hitchcock. As per the ADB’s estimate, the total cost of the project would be around US$ 300 million (Rs 21 billion).
On Dec. 23, 2010, the ADB and the government signed an agreement under which the bank would provide a technical grant of Rs 180 million to do a detailed study for the project. “The ADB could also issue a loan for the project,” said Hitchcock. According to the government, the ADB’s technical assistance will be used to conduct a detailed engineering study including development of design options, specifications and drawings for the civil works, development of design options, specifications and drawings for the electromechanical and hydro-mechanical works and transmission facilities and the bidding process.
In 2006-07, the Nepal Electricity Authority completed an upgrading feasibility study for the project with technical assistance from the Japanese government through JICA. After the detailed engineering study is finished in 2012, the project is expected to go into the construction phase. It is projected to be completed by 2016-2017 if everything goes as planned.
The Upper Seti is one of the few storage-type hydropower projects that has been identified as a national priority project by the government and recommended for further implementation by the last two national budgets.
When asked if the ADB would be willing to invest in the 750 MW West Seti Hydroelectric Project too, Hitchcock said the bank was positive about investing in it. “We’ve not talked about it,” added Hitchcock. “But if the government shows interest, we can discuss it.”
The government stated that the West Seti project located in Doti district would be constructed to address domestic energy demand when unveiling the energy crisis control programme. The programme has also envisioned constructing one 100 MW project each in the five development regions on a turn-key basis.
West Seti Hydro Power Company Limited (WSHPL), promoter of the West Seti Hydropower Project, had proposed building it under the public-private-partnership (PPP) model after failing to put together the required resources.WSHPL has filed an application at the Department of Electricity Development to extend the deadline for financial closure of the project. The ADB had earlier shown interest in the project.
