FIFA tournament featuring Afghan women’s refugee team relocated to Morocco from UAE
GENEVA: A FIFA-organized tournament involving the Afghanistan women’s refugee team has been moved from the UAE to Morocco, the world soccer governing body said, with the four-team friendly competition set to begin on Sunday. The “FIFA Unites: Women’s Series” tournament, originally scheduled to run from October 23-29 in Dubai, also features the national women’s teams of the UAE, Chad and Libya. The Afghanistan women’s refugee team’s creation stems from the Taliban’s ban on women’s sports following their takeover of Afghanistan in 2021, prompting players to flee the country fearing persecution.
