«Breaking News» Fifa investigates Afghanistan's Football Federation over claims of abuse in its women's team

Afghan authorities and FIFA are investigating allegations of sexual abuse of members of the national women's soccer team by officials from the Afghan football federation.   

Britain's Guardian newspaper reported on Friday that senior figures associated with the Afghanistan women's team alleged that players were molested at the federation's headquarters and at a training camp in Jordan last February.

The AFF's president Keramuudin Karim has been named as one of the alleged perpetrators.

Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish said the government took the allegations very seriously and was examining the case.

Britain's Guardian newspaper reported on Friday that senior figures associated with the Afghanistan women's team alleged that some players were molested at by officials from the Afghan football federation 

'Based on a decision from the Attorney General's office, a team has been set up to investigate the case,' he said.

The Afghan Football Federation rejected the allegation and warned that the report could lead to threats being made against members of the women's team. 

'Such allegations are baseless and we will have a thorough investigation,' AFF Secretary General Sayed Aghazada told a news conference on Saturday.

Allegations of sexual contact outside marriage can have deadly consequences in Afghanistan.

Victims of sexual harassment are often extremely reluctant to come forward for fear that they will be accused of adultery.

A spokesperson at FIFA, the world football federation, said it had a 'zero tolerance' policy on abuse and was looking into the Afghan case but addressing the issue in a 'do no harm way' towards the victims.

'As some aspects of these allegations involve sensitive topics linked to the protection of those involved, we have sought support from relevant parties who willingly offered their support to FIFA,' the spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

'Once the facts are established whatever remedial measures needed will be taken.'

The team's main sponsor, the Danish sportswear brand Hummel, has severed its ties with the AFF over the claims has called for new leadership, the Guardian reported.

Hummel said it was 'presented with strong allegations of severe mental, physical, sexual and equal-rights abuse of the female players by male AFF officials'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
