AFGHANISTAN - Former captain Zohib Islam Amiri accuses football federation of corruption
Zohib Islam Amiri, former captain of Afghanistan's national football team, has voiced strong criticism against the Afghanistan Football Federation (AFF) and its president, Mohammad Kargar, alleging mismanagement and corruption. After returning to Afghan football in January 2025 to inspire young players, Amiri was disheartened by deteriorating conditions and a controversial 8-0 victory by his team, Abu Muslim, which led to match-fixing allegations. He accused Kargar of diverting funds intended for grassroots development and failing to pay promised bonuses and salaries to players and AFF staff.
