Where are our Afghan flag football players today?

After Mexico, the majority of our Afghans traveled to Toronto, Canada and  were successful to create the Toronto-storm women’s flag football team. Half the Toronto Storm players are our Afghans and the other half  from other countries. Here is a current photo of our Afghan flag football players.

We continue to work to get more Afghan women out of Afghanistan. If you would like to help us with this fight, please contact our office: IWFFA@IWFFA.COM
