Kathmandu University High School (KUHS) bade farewell to its Under-16 team girls’ team on Thursday that will be representing the country in the Norway Cup 2012.

The KUHS girls’ team is set to leave for Norway on Friday to take part in the six-day Norway Cup football festival to be held in Oslo from July 29.

Ramesh Rayamajhi, central committee member of Anfa, encouraged the 22-member team to leave their mark in the international arena by playing with all their heart.

KUHS girls’ team will play their first three matches with three local Norwegian girls’ outfits-Ulfstind, Valerenga and Molde FK- in their preliminary round.

Team captain Shrawana Shrestha said that their hard work and dedication for the game had made their participation in the tournament possible.

“We came across different hurdles as the path up to here was not free of obstacles. Being a female and having a heart for football do not comply with the perspective of our society, but we have really toiled hard to make it up to here. We will try our level best to perform well in the tournament.

KUHS girls team had played 17 games and bear loss in only one games in two different competitions—Guheshwori football tournament and St. Xaviers football championship—in the last 45 days.
