Team of 35 young players plus their families gain visas after escaping from Taliban to Pakistan
Afghanistan’s junior female football team and their immediate families are to relocate to Britain from Pakistan after recently escaping their homeland, the government has said.
The team of about 35 young footballers, mostly teenagers, and their families – totalling about 130 people – just missed the hurried British airlift from Kabul in August, according to a UK-based charity helping them.
