One of the banned sports was football,known in the United States as soccer. But the rise ofa national women's football team is a sign of changein the country.
The Afghan women's team recently went to Pakistanto compete in the South Asian Football Federationchampionship. The games were played ay JinnahStadium near Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. TheAfghan team did not win any of its games. But the players seem hopeful that they will do betterin the future. They also hope the new Afghan president, Ashraf Ghani, will take more steps tosupport women's football in Afghanistan.

She saysthat a four-team female football league was organized in October. The teams played in Kabul.She adds that the football league helped in identifying players for the national team.
She says, "women are now free and can play football in Afghanistan. We recently organizedthe league and 20 girls came from one province alone to Kabul to take part in the league."
Twenty-year-old Yalda Arghandiwal came all the way from the United States to represent hercountry at the football championship.
She understands the cultural limits on women playing football and other sports in parts ofAfghanistan. However, she says, things have improved.
"There is a lot more brighter cases in Afghanistan, it is not just the Taliban taking over andnobody has any rights. We do have rights. It is more free. We have a president who is trying tomake the country better for us. And yes, the women now are getting better and as you see,this is a big example for you. They are out here playing soccer so that should be a bigimprovement that yes, Afghanistan is improving as a country and they will own the future."
Yalda is from Kabul. She moved to the United States 10 years ago with her family. While there,she started playing football. She says the Afghan team must improve to compete withcountries like India and Nepal.
"Yeah, we lost but that does not matter. As long as we tried our best. We tried really, reallyhard and we worked how we want to work. It is totally fine. This is the just the beginning forAfghanistan national soccer team and for the women of Afghanistan. This could be a big startand it could just lead us into a more brighter future."

She watched all of the teams compete at the SouthAsian Football Federation Championship. Ms. Staab says that she saw great improvement inthe Afghan team's performance since she first saw the team play in 2007.
"Afghanistan women want to play. I know the Taliban and all these people who say womenshould stay at home, things are changing we are now in 2014 and we have to give the girls theopportunity. We have to push them move on to play, let them play."
The football players wear black head coverings and black leggings in all of their matches. Thewomen do this to obey the rules of their country's strong Islamic culture. The Taliban may notbe in power, but males and females remain on unequal footing in Afghanistan. |
