Afghanistan Futsal Committee Deputy Resigns Amid Internal Disputes

DID Press: Farid Yousufzai, technical deputy of the Afghanistan Futsal Committee, has officially submitted his resignation to the Afghanistan Football Federation following weeks of speculation and internal disagreements within the committee.

The resignation was confirmed by Mostafa Hashemi, who acknowledged Yousufzai’s contributions as a key figure in developing futsal in Afghanistan. However, Hashemi emphasized that the federation’s leadership has yet to make a final decision on whether to accept the resignation.

Unofficial sources suggest the resignation stems from significant internal tensions and interference in committee affairs, which reportedly reduced Yousufzai’s authority. In recent months, Yousufzai reportedly protested that major decisions were made without his consultation, including a controversial attempt to replace the committee’s representative in Iran.

The news has prompted widespread reactions on Afghan social media, with fans calling for transparency regarding the committee’s internal conflicts and the federation’s management of futsal development.
