    Association football is the most popular sport in Nepal[171] and was first played during the Rana
    dynasty in 1921.[172] The one and only international stadium in the country is the Dasarath
    Rangasala Stadium where the national team plays its home matches.[citation needed]
    Since the establishment of the national team, Nepal has played its home matches on the Tribhuvan
    University International Cricket Ground.[citation needed] Cricket has been gaining popularity since the
    last decade. Cricket in Nepal is making quick progress as the Nepal cricket team has won the 2012
    ICC World Cricket League Division Four and the 2013 ICC World Cricket League Division
    Three[173] simultaneously hence qualifying for 2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. They have also
    qualified for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 which is currently taking place in Bangladesh.[174] On
    28 June 2014, the ICC awarded T20I status to Nepal, who took part and performed exceptionally
    well in the 2014 ICC World Twenty20.[175][176] Nepal had already played three T20Imatches before
    gaining the status, as ICC had earlier announced that all matches at the 2014 ICC World
    Twenty20 would haveT20I status.[177] Nepal won the 2014 ICC World Cricket League Division
    Three held in Malaysia and qualified for the 2015 ICC World Cricket League Division Two.[178]
    Nepal finished fourth in the 2015 ICC World Cricket League Division Two in Namibia[179] and
    qualified for the 201517 ICC World Cricket League Championship.[180] But Nepal failed to secure
    promotion to Division One and qualification to 201517 ICC Intercontinental Cup after finishing
    third in the round-robin stage.[181][182] Basanta Regmi became the first bowler to take 100 wickets in
    the World Cricket League. He achieved this feat after taking 2 wickets against Netherlands in the
    tournament.[183]
