Afghanistan Women’s Football Team in Exile Defeats Libya 7–0 in Morocco Tournament

Afghanistan Women United, the exiled national team, secured a stunning 7–0 win over Libya in Morocco’s FIFA Unites: Women’s Series, marking a historic triumph.

The women’s football team in exile continued their inspiring run in the FIFA Unites: Women’s Series tournament, thrashing Libya 7–0 on Saturday in Morocco.

The match showcased Afghanistan’s dominance throughout the game, marking their biggest-ever win since the team re-formed in exile following the Taliban’s 2021 ban on women’s sports.

This decisive victory came after the team’s earlier 6–1 loss to Chad in their tournament opener, highlighting a remarkable comeback in both morale and performance.

Formed in May this year with FIFA’s support, the team, now known as Afghanistan Women United, is coached by Pauline Hamill and includes players resettled in countries such as Australia, the UK, and Denmark.

The group represents a powerful symbol of resistance and resilience, carrying Afghanistan’s flag and message of equality on international grounds despite being forced from their homeland.

The 7–0 victory not only stands as a sporting triumph but also a statement of perseverance and hope for Afghanistan women deprived of basic freedoms at home.

Analysts and sports advocates see the team’s progress as a reminder that, even in exile, Afghanistan women continue to challenge the world’s silence on their right to play, compete, and dream.
