My Beautiful Sisters – A Story of Courage, Hope and the Afghan Women's Football Team

A gripping memoir from Khalida Popal, first captain and co-founder of the Afghan women's football team. As a refugee in Denmark, Popal worked to uncover widespread sexual abuse of players by the former president of the Afghanistan F.A., forcing FIFA and the Afghanistan government to act. Popal also tells the remarkable story of how, against all the odds, a small network of allies orchestrated an international evacuation strategy to save the team's players following the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in 2021. Published in 2024.
