Samba Makes History with First Goal in French Division 1 Féminine

Nepali football sensation Sabitra Bhandari, fondly known as Samba has etched her name in history by scoring her maiden goal in the prestigious Division 1 Féminine, the top-tier women’s football league in France. Bhandari, who represents En Avant Guingamp, achieved this remarkable feat during a thrilling encounter against Lille.

The forward’s moment of glory came as she netted Guingamp’s second goal, showcasing her exceptional talent and making her the first Nepali player to score in a European league. Bhandari’s historic goal has not only brought pride to her nation but has also highlighted her growing prominence on the international football stage.

Bhandari’s achievement comes on the heels of her participation in the WAFF Women’s Championship in Saudi Arabia, where she played a pivotal role for the Nepali national team. Despite her absence in the final match against Jordan, Nepal put up a valiant effort but ultimately fell short in a penalty shootout, settling for the runner-up position.

The forward’s departure from the tournament before the crucial final undoubtedly had an impact on Nepal’s performance, underlining her importance to the team. However, her successful stint in France and historic goal in the Division 1 Féminine serve as a testament to her exceptional skill and determination.
