Challenges for National Games

Construction progress of the infrastructure has been uneven. Only, the karnali province stadium is near completion which supports only around 15 sports, where other venues are being upgraded. ^[8] Provincial officials also have noted delays in stadiums, district facilities, covered halls and grounds especially for cricket hockey and volleyball. Similarly, academic board exams schedule clash and shifting dates have caused uncertainty among athletes. ^[9]
