Lama is also a member of the Armed Police Force. She along with Bhagwati Thapa, Laxmi Poudel and Usha Bhandari missed the first weeks of training for the 2014 SAFF Women's Championship because of the mandatory quarantine for the Ebola virus disease, as the four had served in the U.N. mission in Liberia.[2][3]

Anu Lama made her debut for Nepal U-23 during the 2010 South Asian Games women's football tournament against Bangladesh.[citation needed] Lama performed well, landing Nepal a silver medal overall after scoring against Sri Lanka, and a hat-trick against Pakistan.[citation needed]
During the same year, Lama was called up for the senior team for the 2010 SAFF Women's Championship.[citation needed] In a friendly match against Kuwait Lama scored four goals in an 8-0 victory.[4] After the match Lama dedicated the goals to all the Nepalese fans who had made the trip to support the team.[5]
