The best result Nepal has so far achieved in the event was during the 1999 and 201. On both the occasions, Nepal had made it to the semifinals of the tournament.

Recently media reported that a religious event was held at Stadium wishing for the success of the Nepali football team in the tournament. A sheep, goat, duck, hen and an egg were sacrificed during the event where ANFA President Ganesh Thapa and Vice-president Mahesh Bista were attended.

The host Nation has been fully geared to the regional tournament and located a USD 400,000.00 budget to make the tournament more monumental.
