History

The team played their debut game against Bangladesh on 17 December, 2017 in 2017 SAFF U-15 Women's Championship which they lost by 6–0 margin. They finished last in the group stage, losing to India by 10–0 margin and then gained their first ever points in the tournament by drawing 1–1 against Bhutan.

In the next edition of the tournament,[1] Nepal qualified for the semi-finals for the first time but went down to India by narrow margin of 2–1 following which Nepal played third-place game against Bhutan which they lost in penalty shootout. During the same tournament, head coach Sanoj Shreshtha made it clear that Nepali players were not overaged.[2]
