The International Association Football Federation has officially changed its regulations to allow the Afghan women's football team to participate in international competitions. This unprecedented decision empowers the Afghan Women United team to represent their nation on the global stage.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino described the move as a powerful step, emphasizing the organization's commitment to ensuring players are not excluded due to circumstances beyond their control. This comes as women’s sports remain heavily restricted inside the country.

The team is scheduled to hold a training camp in New Zealand this coming June and play a friendly match. FIFA has also pledged to provide ongoing financial and technical support to ensure the team's sustainable participation.
