💨 Abstract

FIFA has announced plans to create an Afghanistan refugee women's soccer team to play friendly matches outside of official competitions, following the Taliban's ban on women's sports. This move does not yet fulfill the exiled players' goal of forming a recognized national team for World Cup and Asian championships. The Afghanistan soccer federation, despite its obligations to promote women's soccer, has not been suspended by FIFA. The soccer body is directly engaging with players to establish the team as soon as possible.
