A tournament that included a team of refugee women's soccer players from Afghanistan has been moved to Morocco and shifted to later this week, FIFA confirmed Wednesday.
The tournament, dubbed FIFA Unites: Women’s Series 2025, was originally set for Dubai starting on Thursday, and was to include Chad, Libya and the host United Arab Emirates.
The revised tournament will start Sunday and will include the refugee team, Chad, Tunisia and Libya. FIFA, soccer's global governing body and the organizer of the event, did not give a reason for the move.
