    Afghan Premier League Football Kicks Off in 1

    Afghanistan's first Premier League football competition will begin in one month nationwide, the football officials said today.

    Hailed by the officials as a new chapter for Afghanistan, the competition is expected to increase football fans throughout the country and help towards stronger bonds of unity.

    "Afghan football is entering a new chapter, and will increase the quality of football players in the country," Head of Afghanistan's Football Federation Keramuddin Karim said Monday at a press conference in Kabul.

    "I am sure it will help in strengthening the national unity between Afghan youth," he added.

    The competition, named ‘Green Ground', will see football clubs across the country travel and compete against each other.

    It is being sponsored by Roshan Telecommunications Company and will be broadcast on Afghanistan's networks Tolo TV and Lemar TV - owned by the same company as TOLOnews.

    "Football is a game which unites people from different nations, we want unite Afghanistan through this league," head of Tolo TV Massoud Sanjar said.

    The competition will also help screen for players in forming a stronger national team, they said.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

    A few elders of Kandahar here will supporting the Kandahar team through various means. I really hope the leaders of other provinces follow suit, so friendly competition can be developed, which will help the war-torn nation in various sectors.

        If Bayat Foundation participates(they have a good past of equally treating all provinces) this might turn out to be a successful event for the nation.

        Bayat Foundation is ran by an Afghan here in NY.

          In the 1950s and 60s Afghan football team was one of the strongest in Asia. Pre-1947 Afghan players used to play in the Calcutta Football League. Some Hindustani Afghan players had become icons. Jumma Khan for instance playing for Calcutta Mohameddans.

            Id argue that the team now is the strongest it has ever been.
