Volleyball is one of the most popular sports in Nepal with both male and female participants of all age. Volleyball is played all over Nepal, both in villages as well as City/Urban Nepal. Almost all high schools and colleges in Nepal have male volleyball teams, and most regions of the country have developmental programs for girls of all ages as well.

Despite being played nationwide, volleyball's progress in Nepal has been minimal since it became the national sport three years ago. Over eight decades, Nepal has won just one gold, one silver, and four bronze international medals, mainly thanks to the women's team. The origins of volleyball in Nepal remain a mystery.
