Fifa World cup football 2014 schedule in Nepali Time.

As the Fifa World cup 2014 is approaching near, people search for the news for the most celebrated event of the world and even download the schedule of the whole tournament. But the timings of all the matches are not available in our Nepali time and people need to do the conversion every time they need to see the timings. So I have done some compilation and calculation to put the schedule in Nepali time. But for the date where the time crosses 12 at night, the date should be the other day but it is not changed to avoid the edit on the original date. Brazil is hosting the 20th International Men Football tournament and the opening ceremony is going to take place on Thursday June 12 at Sao Paulo before the kickoff of the match Brazil Vs Croatia (Nepali Time 01:45) (Jestha 30, 2071).

Altogether 32 countries from Africa, Asia, America, and Europe are allocated to eight groups, each containing 4 teams. Each team play all other in the group stage, resulting in altogether of 48 matches (Six games in each group * eight group). Top two teams (due to the points) from each group qualify for the round of 16, and they play the knockout stages (Quarterfinal, Semifinal) to reach the Final. The Final match of World cup 2014 will be held at Marcana Stadium, Rio de Janerio on July 13 12:45 am Nepali time (Ashad 29, 2071) and the winner along with such prestigious cup, will get $ 35 million. 

Nepali are crazy for Football and most of us don't miss a single match in this whole tournament despite the play is at such awkward hours (in the wee hours). For this mega event there will be screenings in all of the sports bar, pubs and restaurants in Thamel, Durbarmarg of Kathmandu and in other cities too. Some locals even organize a gathering with the screening of the games through moderate Projector, with generator as a backup for Loadshedding hours. As power cut is expected to reduce more by then and the availability of screenings everywhere, people without Inverter need not worry much. Live streaming is another solution in the cities where 3G is available, but make sure you have enough balance and battery in your mobile.

Government owned Nepal Television (NTV) has been broadcasting the World cup tournaments from a very long time even Avenues TV did it for 2010 world cup through Media Hub. But it is not clear who has got the rights to telecast the world cup 2014 matches live in Nepal.
