FIFA has approved a rule change allowing Afghan women footballers to play official international matches in FIFA competitions, giving players exiled since the Taliban’s return to power a route back into international football. Afghanistan’s women’s national team has not played an official competitive international since before the Taliban returned to power in 2021.
