The Dasharath Stadium Disaster occurred on 12 March 1988 at the Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu, Nepal during a football match between the Janakpur Cigarette Factory and Bangladeshi side Muktijoddha Sangsad KC for the 1988 Tribhuvan Challenge Shield. Ninety-three people were killed and more that 100 were injured in a stampede when spectators trying to flee from a hailstorm rushed to the locked doors of the stadium. The Dasharath Stadium disaster was the ninth biggest stadium disaster until 2006 and the worst stadium disaster in Nepal.
