The Afghanistan Government is "failing women every day" that disgraced former Afghanistan Football Federation (AFF) President Keramuddin Karim is not arrested for prolonged sexual abuse, Human Rights Watch has claimed.

 In its most significant stance yet to combat sexual abuse of women players, FIFA has banned for life one of the most notorious culprits, former Afghanistan Football Federation (AFF) president Keramuudin Karim (pictured), and also fined him one million Swiss francs.

Fifa is examining allegations that members of the Afghanistan national women’s team were sexually and physically abused by men from the country’s football federation, including its president, Keramuudin Karim.
