The Afghans Womens National Soccer team have received over 100 000 signatures on their petition to gain recognition in the FIFA Womens World Cup.

The team were forced to flee Afghanistan in August 2021 when the Taliban took over the government. Since coming to Australia they have been managing the challenges of settling in a new country, financially supporting themselves and their families who also fled during the humanitarian crisis and reside in other countries, studying as well as keeping their soccer goals and aspirations alive.

The team says they dream of representing our country at the Womens World Cup. But, FIFA has repeatedly ignored their pleas to formally recognise [their] right to play.

The Womens World Cup now enters its final week this week.
