Football: Afghan women's team recognized in blow to Taliban
FIFA has officially recognized Afghanistan's exiled women's football team, enabling them to compete in Olympic, World Cup, and Asian Cup qualifiers—a decision players describe as a rebuke to the Taliban, who banned Afghan women from playing football. Composed mostly of refugees in Australia and Europe, the team will gather in New Zealand for a training camp and match against the Cook Islands ahead of upcoming qualifiers, while continuing to advocate for women's rights in their home country.
