Interzisă să joace fotbal acasă, echipa feminină afgană se reunește la 13.000 de km de casă. Sportivele și-au îngropat toate trofeele

A group of 23 Afghan female footballers, now living abroad, gathered in New Zealand for training and friendly matches, marking their first reunion since FIFA allowed them to represent Afghanistan. The team, formed in 2007, faced challenges under Taliban rule, which restricted women's rights, including sports. Many players were evacuated and relocated, leading to the creation of Afghan Women United. As they prepare for matches, players express gratitude for football's role in their survival and empowerment. Despite their struggles, they remain determined to pursue their dreams and advocate for women's rights.
