Wellington

Sabitra Bhandari, widely known as ‘Samba’ is Captain of Nepal National Football Team. Her career has always faced adversity, but overcame it with courage every time. This time, she needs your support to rise again.

Samba has carried the hopes of a nation on her shoulders. As captain of Nepal’s women’s national football team, she has inspired countless young girls to dream beyond boundaries and believe that nothing is impossible. Her journey has never been easy. Every goal, every milestone has come through sacrifice, discipline, and relentless determination.

Through sheer hard work, she became Nepal’s most feared striker and earned an overseas contract with Wellington Phoenix FC, proudly representing both Nepal and New Zealand on the professional stage.

Now, she faces one of the toughest battles of her career. A second ACL injury requires surgery. As someone who has always put her country first, Samba is aiming to have her surgery in best facility there is, Aspetar in Qatar, Doha.

Despite being a national icon, lack of adequate support from the FA have left her turning to the people who have always stood behind her. Her last surgery was supported by the ANFA, but the current leadership didn't just deny her support but kept her waiting for more than 6 weeks, ultimately denying any administrative support.

Samba gave her all for Nepal and created biggest moments.

Now, it is our turn to stand by her.

Help our captain rise again.
