11/19/21 IWFFA Works to Get Afghanistan Women Flag Football Players Out of Afghanistan
The IWFFA is working hard to get the Afghanistan Women’s Flag Football players out of Afghanistan. We have already secured some housing and some jobs in the USA for when they get out, but we desperately need to raise funds for legal fees. Please donate what you can!
In 2018, the IWFFA traveled to India to train a group of Afghan women how to play, coach and officiate flag football so they could take the sport back to Afghanistan.
The women did, and coached other women and girls in the league they developed, the Afghanistan Women Flag Football Association (AWFFA).
However, with the change of government, and withdraw of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, our female flag football players are in danger for breaking the Taliban laws. We need to get all the members of the AWFFA out.
How to Donate:
- Via Facebook
- Via Check (please make payable to IWFFA):
