Sports

Cricket is the most popular sport in the nation and is extremely popular in Afghanistan. It's interesting to note that because of security concerns in Afghanistan during the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s, the national cricket team of Afghanistan, which represents the nation in international events, played many of its home matches outside of the nation. Another well-liked sport in the nation is football. The Khurasan Lions, the nation's national football team, were established in 1922.

The national football squad did not play in any international matches from 1984 to 2002 despite joining FIFA in 1948 because of domestic political unrest. The Afghanistan national football team has taken part in important football events since making a comeback, such as the South Asia Football Federation Championship and the AFC Challenge Cup.

Their finest result in the competition came when the Khurasan Lions won the 2013 South Asia Football Federation Championship. Basketball is another well-liked sport in Afghanistan, and the national basketball team has taken part in significant basketball contests. In the 2010 South Asian Games, the national basketball team of Afghanistan won the title.
