Afghan female athletes: women’s sports to vanish soon with the Taliban’s presence

Players in the Afghan national team stated that the women’s sports in Afghanistan will completely disappear under the dominance of the Taliban, and will return only in case of the movement’s departure. The player, Nahida Ebrahim Khai, pointed out that in the presence of the Taliban, women will not be able to play well and go freely to the stadium, while the player Nilofar Wafa said that she received invitations from several countries to pursue the sport and she is waiting for the right time to leave. Whereas the national team handball player, Mahshid Mubariz, said that the Taliban will affect not only sports but also the freedom of all women in the country, and she is also waiting for any opportunity to leave the country. Female players are looking forward to fulfilling their ambitions by participating in international games and raising the flag of their country.
