As the AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers draw closer, Church Boys United (CBU) is intensifying its preparations with a series of strategic squad additions.

The team, set to face Paro FC of Bhutan, has not yet finalized its final squad, but continues to bolster its ranks with national team talent.

The anticipated match is scheduled to take place at Kathmandu's Dasharath Stadium on August 13. Ahead of this crucial fixture, CBU has announced the inclusion of national team defender Chirring Lama to their squad. Lama's experience and skill are expected to fortify CBU's defensive line and contribute significantly to their campaign.

In recent announcements, CBU had previously unveiled the signings of several other prominent Nepal internationals, demonstrating their commitment to assembling a competitive roster for the qualifiers.

The upcoming match against Paro FC carries high stakes, as the victor will progress to the group stage of the AFC Challenge Cup, guaranteeing them a minimum of 100,000 USD in prize money. This added financial incentive further underscores the importance of CBU's meticulous preparation and player recruitment efforts.
