The year 2025 started with a few friendly matches and a Nepalese New Year program in Kursaal Bad Cannstatt. We had eyed the venue for a long time and our registered status helped us to organise in a former palace and one of the best venues so far. 3 Bands and several participants presented their art on the occasion. We were able to collect decent donations from the audience.
The other event worth mentioning that took place is Himalayan Schwäbische Triseries 2025. After organising several grand events in 2024, we had to excel in organising sport events as well. So far the biggest sporting event for footballers in Germany is the NRNA Cup which has been organised since 2016. NFC Stuttgart has been to several other cities to take part in the tournament but never has hosted the event on its own.
Himalayan Schwäbische Pokal 2025 was the first event we organised. Aman Dulal and friends, and Mo:Mos & Sushihaus were among the major sponsors of the program. Praveen Giri, Susan Lama, Agam Rai, Dilip Pokhrel, and were among the major contributors for the event.
The regular participations in Bundespokal and NRNA Cup took place this year too. We continued our journey till the semi-final continuously for 2 consecutive years. The ladies team too stood firm in their runner up position though they had aimed for the winner as always. One major thing that happened was the announcement of the NRNA Cup 2026 in Stuttgart.
NFC Stuttgart actively took part in the formation of the Local Coordination Committee in Baden Württemberg and campaigned for Lokendra Samba, our Board member in the National Coordination Committee of the NRNA. Seeing our active involvement in NRNA and willingness to organise NRNA Cup 2026 in Stuttgart, the president of NRNA Mr. Lokmani Dhakal and ICC Member Mr. Kumbha Regmi showed positive response and was ultimately announced in Munich during NRNA Cup 2025.
This year’s Dashain Bhetghat was organised amid a difficult atmosphere. Dashain is an occasion for the club to award players and thank our sponsors too for their valuable support. However, the unfortunate incident that took place in Nepal made it a bit difficult for us. The situation got better in no time and that inspired us to continue with the announcement.
The year is not yet done. More is to come.
