As the SAFF Cup is almost ready to kick off the excitement amongst the fans and media a like in South Asia has been very prominent. The team hotel is full of journalists from India, Bangladesh, Maldives and of course Nepal. The region is certainly extremely passionate for the beautiful game. Having played a lot recently in South East Asia for Kithcee in The AFC Cup I thinks its fair to say the love for the game is the same, even though the level is slightly lower. Below are some links in the media building up the big kick off today, where hosts Nepal will take on Bangladesh.http://www.footballpakistan.com/2013/08/shahzad-our-team-can-beat-anyone-exclusive/
