Should FIFA have refused to recognize the Afgan Ladies team as it was based Australia made up of female refugees
FIFA refused to recognize them because the Afgan authoraties in Karbul does not recognize women and therefore the country's ladies team
To enter the World cup each team has to be officially sanctioned by its own country's football authority.
Sad....very sad....but a sad reflection of the political issues in that country and the non recognition of women in general.
