Swarnakatha By Himesh Ratna Bajracharya

Swarnakatha is the first comprehensive history of football in Nepal, authored by veteran sports journalist Himesh Ratna Bajracharya. It chronicles the sport’s century-long journey—from its introduction in 1920 to Nepal’s historic gold medal victories at the South Asian Games in 1984 and 1993. Featuring detailed accounts of legendary players, pivotal matches, and the evolution of clubs and leagues, the book preserves golden-era stories at risk of being forgotten. Launching in Kathmandu with luminaries like Raju Kaji Shakya, it has been praised as a foundational work for Nepali sports literature and a must-read for football enthusiasts, historians, and aspiring sports writers .
