ATN’s Support Fuels the Rise of Futsal in Afghanistan

ATN has played a pivotal role in the growth of futsal in Afghanistan, ensuring fans across the nation could follow their team’s historic journey to the FIFA Futsal World Cup in Uzbekistan last year.

For the first time, millions of Afghans watched live as their national futsal team competed on the global stage—marking Afghanistan’s debut at the prestigious tournament.

But the World Cup appearance wasn’t the only milestone in 2024. Afghanistan also made its inaugural entry into the AFC Futsal Championship, signaling a new era for the sport in the country.

As Afghanistan continues to script another remarkable sporting story—this time on the futsal court—the importance of developing talent at home becomes even more vital. That’s why domestic competitions like the Afghanistan Futsal Premier League are essential to sustaining and building on this momentum.

Afghanistan’s under-18 futsal team suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Argentina in their second Group A match at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games on Wednesday.

Argentina secured victory with a dramatic late goal from Valentino Martínez in the final minute, ending Afghanistan’s hopes of taking points from the closely contested encounter at the Iba Mar Diop Complex in Dakar, Senegal.

The South American side took the lead through an unfortunate own goal by Afghanistan goalkeeper and captain Ahmad Esmaeili. However, Afghanistan responded strongly, with Ali Ahmadi finding the equaliser in the 18th minute to send the teams into the break level at 1-1.

Afghanistan defended resolutely throughout the second half, with Esmaeili producing important saves to keep Argentina at bay as the contest remained finely balanced.
