Dubai, September 23, 2025 — It’s been a heavy few weeks for Nepal. We’ve lost precious lives back home and many of us are still processing the news from afar. In moments like this, you want to do something—anything—that turns grief into something a little stronger. For the Nepali community in the UAE, we’ve got a simple, meaningful way to stand together: show up at Sharjah Cricket Stadium when Nepal plays West Indies on September 27, 29 and 30.
This isn’t just another series. For our players, walking out and hearing a wall of “Nepal! Nepal!” can feel like stepping onto home turf. For the rest of us, gathering under one flag—families, friends, kids with painted cheeks—becomes a quiet promise to each other: we’re hurting, but we’re still together.

Why being there matters
Ask any athlete what lifts them on a tough day. It’s the noise. The songs. The flags. It’s knowing that when the game swings, the crowd will be there to push them that extra yard. Our boys have carried our hopes for years; this week, we carry theirs. Bring your voice, your flag, and your friends. Make it feel like Kirtipur under the Sharjah lights.
A small tribute, a big heart
Before the first ball, let’s keep one minute of silence for those we lost—no speeches, no gestures, just a stadium standing still. And then we let it rip: drums if the rules allow, chants, the whole thing. Loud, respectful, proud. That balance is important. We want families to feel safe, kids to feel welcome, and the world to see the best of us—disciplined, warm, and united.
Practical bits (so your evening goes smoothly)
- Arrive early. Security checks and traffic can slow things down. Plan to reach the gates at least 30–45 minutes before the reporting time on your ticket.
- Bring your flag and scarf. Poles/rods only if they’re allowed—follow gate instructions. Face paint is always a hit with the little ones.
- Hydrate. Check venue rules for what you can bring in; kiosks usually operate inside.
- If you’re coming with kids, carry ear protection and agree on a simple meeting point in case you get separated.
- Be kind. Smile at the opposition fans, thank the staff. Cricket connects people—let’s keep it that way.
Chants to keep handy
Short, simple, from the heart:
- “Jai Nepal!”
- “Nepal! Nepal!”
If instruments are allowed, keep the beat tight and the lyrics clean. We want the whole ground—neutral fans included—to feel the positive energy.
Getting there
Ride-hail or taxi is usually the least stressful on match nights. If you’re driving, car-pool and give yourself extra time near the stadium. It’ll be busy—because that’s exactly what we want.
There’s a line we’ve all heard a thousand times: “Cricket is more than a game.” It can sound cheesy until nights like these remind you it’s true. A packed Nepali section is not just a backdrop for the broadcast; it’s a message that travels far beyond the boundary rope—back to families in Nepal, to friends scattered around the world, and to every kid who dreams with a tennis ball in a narrow alley.
So let’s keep it simple. Wear your colors. Be on time. Stand in silence for a minute. Then sing until your voice cracks. Make Sharjah feel like home.

A Special Message to All Nepalese Living in the UAE
Brothers and sisters, this is our moment to stand side by side. Let’s fill Sharjah with our colors, our voices, and our hearts. Let’s show our players that home isn’t just a place—it’s people. When they look up from the field, let them see us—thousands strong—so they feel they’re playing in Kathmandu, not miles away. Let’s all of us Nepalese living in the UAE unite and be present at the stadium to support the team.
Come together, sing together, and make our team feel the warmth of home. Jai Nepal.
