People had travelled from as far as Badakhshan, Kunduz, Takhar and Baghlan to cheer up their teams.

Some of the players, encouraged by the league’s successive seasons over the last two years as well as inspired by the achievements of the national team, exhibited impressive football skills that can provide a great pool of selection for the national team in the future.
