Play had to be stopped for nearly a hour during the India vs Nepal Women's SAFF Championship 2024 as a protest from both teams against the referee threw the match in chaos. After India scored and were celebrating, Referee blew the whistle for Nepal's kick-off despite most of the Indian players still engaged in celebration. Nepal scored from free-kick with Indians unready but referee suddenly cancelled the goal. There was a lot of confusion as both the teams went off the pitch and protested including players and officials, mostly from the home side. The referee Om Choki from Bhutan waited patiently for more than hour and after lots of discussion between the supervising officials and the Nepal side, the match resumed.
