Know About The Flag Of Nepal

Nepal officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked country in South Asia and the world's youngest republic. It is bordered to the north by the People's Republic of China, and to the south, east, and west by the Republic of India. 

With an area of 147,181 square kilometers (56,827 sq mi) and a population of approximately 30 million, Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by land mass and the 41st most populous country. Kathmandu is the nation's capital and the country's largest metropolitan city.The national flag of Nepal  is the world's only non-quadrilateral national flag. The flag is a simplified combination of two single pennons, the vexillological word for a pennant. Its crimson red is the colour of the rhododendron, the country's national flower. Red is also the sign of victory in war. The blue border is the colour of peace. Until 1962, the flag's emblems, the sun and the crescent moon, had human faces. They were removed to modernize the flag.

The flag was adopted, with the formation of a new constitutional government, on December 16, 1962. The individual pennants had been used for the preceding two centuries and the double pennant since the 19th century. The flag borrows the basic design from the original design, which has been in use for more than 2,000 years.

Will Nepal Register the First Point Today Against Cameroon?

Nepal were clearly undone by Maldives in their first match of the tournament as the Gorkhalisoften gifted away the possession to the opposition and made no attacking forays.

It was also observed that they resorted to a long-ball strategy which leaves them vulnerable to counter-attacks from their rivals of any given day while a lack of scoring intent doesn't make a good mix.

Combining all this to Krishna Thapa's 4-4-2 formation, his two strikers Santosh Sahukhala and Bharat Khawas will have to sweat extra ounches of their efforts on the pitch, given that Cameroon play a faster brand of football with the objective of 'passing' quick.

Although Emmanuel Ndoumbe Bosso's young African side could not hold on to their lead against Syria who forced a 2-2 in their last exchange, Nepal's defence might have a lot to prove on Sunday.

Cameroon have already made their hunger for goals quite evident with Ebanga Bertin and Ousmila Baba often moving together thus leaving the rival defense on their toes and with no room each time they take on attacking ways.

We can expect results from Nepal only if they manage to take their game to the wings towards Santosh Sahukhala while the experience of Bharat Khawas can make a significant impact.

Nepal defender Biraj Maharjan and goalkeeper Ritesh Thapa will be expected to up their game as any sort of complacency could easily result in defeat against the local talent of the Cameroon side who have all to play for.
