After years of being unable to compete due to restrictions on women’s sports in Afghanistan, Afghan women footballers are returning to international play thanks to a new FIFA rule. Many players, now living in exile, can once again represent their country through an officially recognised team. Their return sends a powerful message of resilience and hope, keeping opportunities alive for future generations of Afghan women.
