      Yesterday's deadline was only the preliminary registration of players (up to 50 can be registered).

      The final registration of an 18-23 man squad is at the team mangers' meeting (I'm not sure when that is).

      Thanks, you are right , I been checking AFC rules for the competition :

      Participating Member Associations are required to submit a final
      registration of a minimum of eighteen (18) players and a maximum of
      twenty three (23) players from the squad list of up to fifty (50) players at
      the Team Managers’ Meeting.

      ------------------------------

      Team mangers meeting must be next week when all teams arrive.

    "Most probably, Group B teams will be kept at Everest Hotel and Group A in Grand Hotel", the source tells GoalNepal.com.
