Afghanistan Women Football Team Returns to International Stage After FIFA Decision FIFA Approves Return Under Special Rules FIFA has approved a new rule that allows Afghanistan women footballers to return to international competition under special circumstances. The decision enables players to represent their country even when their national federation cannot officially support a team. This change follows years of restrictions after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021. Women were banned from sports, and many footballers left the country to seek safety abroad. Players Forced Into Exile After 2021 Afghanistan women last played an official match in 2018. After 2021, women faced strict limits on sport and public participation. Many national team players relocated to countries such as Australia, the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. More than 80 Afghan women footballers now live outside Afghanistan. Some were under contract before the political change, while others joined later as refugees. Formation of Afghan Women United FIFA supported a refugee team called Afghan Women United in 2025 as part of a pilot program. This team gave displaced players a platform to compete and stay active in international football. The team has already played friendly matches. It recorded its first win against Libya during the FIFA United Women Series in 2025. New Pathway for International Matches The updated FIFA rule allows a national or representative team to compete even when the member federation cannot officially register it. This ensures players are not blocked from football due to political or external conditions. Afghanistan will not take part in the 2027 Women's World Cup. However, the team may join qualification matches for the 2028 Olympics. Their return to international fixtures is expected in June. Leadership and Player Response Former captain Khalida Popal welcomed the decision and said the team represents strength and hope for Afghan women. She highlighted that players inside Afghanistan still face major restrictions. She said the team will continue to speak for those who cannot leave the country and will support young players in exile communities. Training and Preparation Plans FIFA has organized regional selection camps in England and Australia. A training camp in New Zealand is also planned for June. These camps will help prepare the squad for upcoming international matches.
