Girl and daughter in football team in Himalayan city (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kathmandu

'himalayan city' is the definition.
(city located in the Himalayas)

'girl and daughter in football team' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'kath' ().
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'football team' becomes 'man u' (short for Manchester United).
'd' inserted within 'manu' is 'mandu'.
'kath'+'mandu'='KATHMANDU'

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for kathmandu that I've seen is " Capital of Nepal".)
