Kabul Soccer Club

Kabul Soccer Club

The Kabul Soccer Club (established in 1983 in Concord, California and Alexandria, Virginia) promotes soccer and provides a common ground for cultural differences between generations of Afghan Americans. The club consists of former Afghanistan national football team players and Afghan American youth players.

The club president is Nemat Jamili. The coach is Sheershah Akbari.

The club sponsors soccer tournaments among Afghan communities in the United States. The first such tournament took place in September 1994. In that final game, the Kabul Soccer Club defeated the Ariana Soccer Club of Los Angeles.

The club planned to take its first journey to Kabul in August 2004, so many of the players could visit their homeland for the first time or in many years.
