The Nepal women's U-17 national football team, otherwise known as Nepali Cheli's (Nepalese Sisters) is controlled by the All Nepal Football Association and represents Nepal in women's international football competitions. The Women's Football Department is developed to control and manage the women's football activities. The official motto of women's football in Nepal is "Football for Change". It is a member of the Asian Football Confederation and the South Asian Football Federation and has yet to qualify for the Asian Cup.

The team played their debut game against Bangladesh on 17 December, 2017 in 2017 SAFF U-15 Women's Championship which they lost by 6–0 margin.
