Bimal Gharti Magar (Nepali: विमल घर्ती मगर; born on 26 January 1998) is a Nepalese footballer who plays as a forward for the Nepal, Nepal U-23, and Far Western FC in the Nepal National League. Bimal was the product of Central ANFA Academy, which is controlled by the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) and the Nepal national football team. Bimal is also the sixth youngest male scorer and international debutant in the world, making him the youngest Nepalese player to debut (at the age of 14) and score (at the age of 15) for the Nepal national team.
Magar was born in Nawalparasi,Panchanagar 1, Nepal and is from Bhutaha village in Nawalparasi. Magar's father, Hom Bahadur was also a footballer who played locally. It was his father and his childhood mentor who inspired Magar to take up football. Hom Bahadur's greatest wish was to see Magar play for the national team, but he died in a motorbike accident before Magar made it to the highest level. He broke the previous record of Bharat Khawash.
On 26 May 2016, while Magar was in Belgium and his mother was out for some bank work, Magar's sister was found dead in her home. The investigation regarding the death is in progress and the police have arrested Rudra Narayan Chaudhary aka "Aashish" as a suspect, who was in a relationship with the deceased for the past four years.
Magar was selected by the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) to join the ANFA Academy in Butwal after his performance for the Butwal Elite English School during the Subroto Cup, held in New Delhi. The Butwal Elite English School went on to win the tournament. Subsequently, that year, during the AFC U-14 Football Festival Magar was then transferred to the Central ANFA Academy, where he gained further attention by senior officials at ANFA. Which in turn, lead to Magar being included in the national team's squad during a friendly against Bangladesh at the age of 14.
