Thirteen days ago, the campaign of Afghan women's soccer players' petition to FIFA, with the hashtag "Stand with Afghan women and recognize the Afghan women's national football team in exile" was started, and now this campaign on the "change.org" site has passed the threshold of collecting 50,000 signatures.

In seven days, the Taliban's control over Afghanistan will be two years old, two years which means extensive restrictions on the freedom of Afghan women, including a ban on sports. In these two years, Afghan female athletes either stayed at home or left the country, like female football players. Athletes who dreamed of wearing the jersey of the national team and representing their country in international competitions.

The discussion of sports, especially women's football, has become a problem without a solution, the Afghan women football players want FIFA to recognize them as the official national women's team of Afghanistan; But FIFA has said in a statement that it does not have the right to recognize any team; Unless it is first recognized by the relevant member association (Afghanistan Football Federation).

The problem that does not exist at least for women footballers in Afghanistan and FIFA does not know what is the solution to this problem. On the other hand, Bahram Sediqi, the new Secretary General of the Afghanistan Football Federation, told "CNN" a while ago that FIFA contacted this institution about the Afghanistan women's team and the federation told them that we cannot support the women's football team. If they come to Afghanistan, we cannot support them; Because the ruling system has limitations here.

Afghan female soccer players in Australia say that despite their repeated requests, the recognition of the Afghan girls' football team as the Afghan national team has been rejected by FIFA. But they are fighting to make this happen, and not long ago, in a campaign to collect signatures that was launched on the American site "change.org", 50,855 people have signed it so far, and the process of collecting signatures continues rapidly. Interestingly, according to the information recorded on this site, 30,851 people have approved this campaign in just one day. A campaign that is directly connected to FIFA!
