Afghanistan: Kabul Football Club

Back


See full film here:


Under the Taliban, Kabul's football stadium was a place of fear and execution. Football was discouraged and spectators banned from cheering. But through all the years of oppression, love of the beautiful game remained. Now, in a symbol of the country's rebirth, Afghanistan is rebuilding its national team. We follow football legend Ali Askar Lali as he returns from exile in Germany to select and train the new players. Working in farcical conditions, he tries to prepare the men for their first symbolic international match. Will the team be ready? And do they stand any chance of success?

I don't want to start a pissing contest here about who's right or who's wrong, but why do you say we have Afghan players in our team??? I would love to see Afghanistan succeed in everything, esp football. Heck the stupid government of iran should allow the Afg national team practice full time in iran. Anyways, good luck and I'm sure Afg wil have a great team, but plz don't try to start a fight
