The Football Supporters Association have appealed for clothing and funds to support the young players of The Afghan Women's Development Team who have at last arrived in this country having escaped the violence of The Taliban.

Kim Kardashian and Leeds United have helped an Afghan junior women's football team arrive in the UK after fleeing the Taliban. The social media influencer paid for a flight that brought more than 30 teenage girls and their families - about 130 people in all - to Britain.

The players in Afghanistan's women's youth development team were among hundreds of female athletes that have left the country since the Taliban took over and started curbing women's freedoms.

The team are in need of multiple layers of support - from basic essentials to more specialised support (given the traumatic ordeal they and their families have been through and other family members are still through back in their country).
