reader comments 90 withĮA Sports announced today that the soccer title it publishes in 2023 would be part of the new EA Sports FC brand, doing away with the FIFA name the series has used since the days of the Sega Genesis and Super NES.

We look forward to your response on how you plan to help reinstitute football for the women on the AWT. We hope to see FIFA promote a football that is truly global and accessible for those who need it most, and we urge you to use your role as the President of FIFA to allow the women of Afghanistan to represent themselves on the pitch.Enlarge / Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, but maybe that's just because it's new. Until then, they should be afforded the opportunity to represent their country away from home. The women of the AWT are in a unique situation, and we hope one day they can return to their homeland to play the sport without restrictions. Allow freedom and opportunity to prevail in the sport, one that represents so much to those around the world. Allow them to play for their country without returning to the brutality of Taliban rule in Afghanistan. Recognizing FIFA’s vision to “protect human rights,” we ask that you allow the AWT to represent every woman and girl trapped under Taliban rule. It is our belief that FIFA should develop a process to allow the members of the team, now exiled, to play in the organization, if not for the future of the beautiful game, then for the important message it sends to women and girls around the world. They have been playing against other clubs in Australia, all while hoping to create a team outside of Afghanistan that can represent their mothers, sisters, and daughters who continue to be repressed by the Taliban government.

The AWT players have been brave advocates for their autonomy from the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The Taliban government in place since 2021 has repressed the female population of Afghanistan by denying them basic freedoms and equality, including the opportunity to attend school, the ability to travel outside of their homes without restrictions, play sports, or work in certain sectors. The players on the women’s team have applied for asylum in foreign countries, namely Australia, and currently watch from the bleachers as other teams are able to do what they are not: proudly play for their country on the world stage. Since the Taliban regained national control in Afghanistan, the women of AWT who represented their country on the world stage have been forced to flee their home. We write to bring to your attention the pressing issue of the Afghanistan Women’s Football Team (AWT) and its lack of recognition by your organization. In addition to Senators Van Hollen and Young, Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Representatives Darin LaHood (R-Ill.), Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), Rick Larsen (D-Wash.), and Don Bacon (R-Neb.) signed onto the letter.

After the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021, the team’s players were forced to flee the nation. Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Todd Young (R-Ind.) and the co-chairs of the Congressional Soccer Caucus sent a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino urging official recognition of the Afghanistan Women’s Football Team (AWT).
