Banned from playing football in their home country, members of the Afghan women's national team have reunited 8,000 miles away, finding freedom and independence through the sport.
The Afghan women's team has been described as 'a beacon of hope for every girl around the world,' highlighting their significance and inspiration.

FIFA has made a rare exception, allowing the Afghan women's refugee team to compete as an official national side in international tournaments, bypassing the Taliban's approval. This decision offers a lifeline for the team to rejoin international football after an eight-year hiatus.
