Afghan women's soccer team escapes Taliban control, thanks to some powerful teammates
Fox News
Former Afghan women’s soccer captain Khalida Popal was a key "player" in helping 130 Afghan women's youth development soccer players, coaches and family, away from the Taliban.
"Some of their family members were killed or taken by the Taliban," Popal said. "So the danger and distress was very high, and that’s why it was very important to move very fast to get them outside Afghanistan."
But with the departure of U.S. troops, getting them out was not easy.
