Women athletes from Afghanistan have found a new home where they can play soccer freely. They are now part of Houston Shine FC.

These athletes previously lived in a country where they could initially play sports without restriction, but this freedom was later taken away. The change occurred after the US troops withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021.

Further details about their story and experiences are available from KPRC 2 Houston, including how they are finding joy in soccer again with their new team.
