Members of Afghanistan's women's football team have arrived in neighboring Pakistan, the information minister in Islamabad said on Tuesday.
Former Afghanistan women's team captain Khalida Popal says she helped with the evacuation process, tweeting: "I am happy to announce that once with the great support I managed to get more than 79 youth female footballers & family members out of Afg."
"This time I got the support from the great team at Rokitfoundation," she added.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
