Kathmandu, Nepal, April 3, 2024 – The Nepal School Sports Federation (NSSF) has been actively fostering partnerships with national sport associations to advance domestic sports development. In recent developments, two significant Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) were signed with the Nepal Badminton Association (NBA) and the Nepal Basketball Association (NeBA), respectively.
On April 1, a landmark MOU was inked between NSSF and NBA, signalling a new era of collaboration in promoting badminton within Nepal's school sports system and globally.
NBA and NSSF have now pledged to embark on an exciting new phase of collaborative engagement. This strengthens a dual commitment to support badminton's expansion within the school sports movement.
