ANFA Complex is a football stadium and training facility and hosts the headquarters of All Nepal Football Association in Lalitpur, Nepal built in 1999 by All Nepal Football Association. It consists of ANFA House (the current HQ of ANFA), an ANFA Academy, a hostel, and a football ground.
Initially built as an office and hostel for youth-level players, a ground was constructed alongside the facility in order to train the players onsite. The ground was later renovated to include an artificial turf for pitch durability due to Nepal's climate requiring constant pitch maintenance. It was built under FIFA's GOAL Project.[1] In 2015, parapets was then constructed and the ground was inaugurated as a national stadium in time for the 2015 SAFF U-19 Championship.[2] With a capacity of 6,000 audiences, ANFA Complex played the role as an unrivaled setting for 43rd edition of the Martyr’s Memorial A-Division League.
