00:00A significant moment for the Afghan women following their debut at the FIFA Unites tournament currently taking place in Morocco.
00:07The team last played a match in 2021 before the Taliban took over the Asian country.
00:12They have been practicing in exile ever since.
00:16For some, this is their biggest moment in their football careers, especially coming from a country that is ranked low by FIFA.
00:22We are profoundly grateful to FIFA, that FIFA gave us this opportunity and this privilege to represent what women are capable of.
00:37I think it's a clear message to the world that if women want to do anything in their life, not just an athlete path,
00:47to be equal in the society as men, especially in the sports field.
00:55And countries like Afghanistan that didn't have the opportunity these many years, it's made this dream come true.
01:06I think it's a really, really important thing for us and for the girls and countries like us, like Afghanistan,
01:12that didn't have the opportunity to play international teams or sports or any field.
01:18The competition features the Afghan Women United, Chad, Libya and Tunisia, playing in Morocco.
01:25The match against Chad marked an emotional return to the global stage for Afghan women's football after nearly four years.
