Nepali Community Shines at the Smiles Gold Cup 2025

On Dec. 28, 2025, the spirit of competition and community was on full display at the Smiles Gold Cup 2025 in Chiba, Japan. Organized by Panauti 11 Football Club and sponsored by Smiles Mobile Remittance, the tournament has officially solidified its place as one of the most significant Nepali sporting events of the year.

The tournament saw an incredible turnout, featuring high-level play from over 35 teams. More than 200 visitors joined the festivities to cheer on their favorite players and celebrate Nepali culture through sport.

While Smiles Mobile Remittance is already a big name for many in the community, this year’s Gold Cup served a special purpose: launching the Smiles Connect initiative.

As the title sponsor, Smiles utilized the event to bridge the gap between financial services and daily connectivity. The event provided an opportunity for attendees to learn about the Smiles SIM service, which is designed to keep the community connected more affordably and efficiently.

The Smiles Gold Cup 2025 was more than just a football tournament; it was an event to power community engagement. Smiles Mobile Remittance continues to prove that they are more than just a service provider. They are a dedicated partner to the global community.
