Youth career
[edit]Dangi first started playing football as an elite academy player from Sinheung middle school U15 when he first moved to South Korea. He began to learn football in earnest in the fall of 2015, but due to regulations for registration as a foreign player it took almost a year for him to play in the league. He officially started to play from summer of 2016.[citation needed]
Club career

In 2021, Dangi was called to a senior national team camp for the first time. He made his international debut against Iraq on 29 May 2021, and scored a goal.[6] Dangi was selected in Nepal's squad for the 2021 SAFF Championship. On 1 October, Dangi scored the only goal for Nepal in a 1–0 victory over the hosts Maldives.[7]
Dangi was called to a Nepal U-23 for 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualification. He made his U-23 debut against Indonesia U-23 in friendly game on 22 October 2021.
