If everything goes well, Birat gold cup this edition will be played under lights. If this happens, Biratnagar will become second city to host football matches under lights after Kathmandu.

Birat gold cup trust is organizing the event from March 31 in Biratnagar, Morang.

The championship has a winning purse of Rs 12,71,000.

Trust president Nabin Rijal said, "We are speeding up preparation to hold this event under lights. We have come up with this plan to avoid extreme heat in the afternoon and windy condition".

The organizers have already tested makeshift lights-tower in the stadium.

Sahid Maidan is the only football stadium in Nepal.

"We are planning to kick off the match at 6 PM so that many people can come to the stadium to watch the match", said Rijal.

"We have coordinated with Nepal police, Nepal APF and will install CCTV to maintain security in the venue", Rijal added.

Ten teams will take part in the event.
