Nepal's Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) has launched a high-profile investigation into the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) regarding match-fixing, financial irregularities, and fraud. Following a preliminary probe, CIB arrested ANFA Treasurer Rabindra Joshi and Accounting Officer Sanjeev Pandey, with a Lalitpur district court granting a four-day remand for questioning. Investigators raided ANFA's office, seizing electronic devices including laptops and CPUs. The corruption probe covers multiple serious allegations, including the shifting of home World Cup qualifiers against Bahrain to foreign soil, questionable procurement of jerseys and playing kits from brands like Kelme and KTM City, and mismanagement and irregularities in the sale of 2026 FIFA World Cup tickets. Previous complaints had languished for years, but new evidence prompted renewed scrutiny involving the Ministry of Sports and the National Sports Council.
