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.
