Afghanistan's status for 2024 Paris Olympics put in question, Here's why

Taliban blocking access to sport for women and girls hasn't goen down well with the International Olympic Committee.

The IOC put Afghanistan team’s status for the 2024 Paris Olympics in question and said that it 'continues to be extremely concerned' about the sports situation in Afghanistan despite its repeated calls for action.

The IOC cautioned that 'specific details for the participation of the Afghan delegation and team' for the Paris Games have not yet been decided.

A number of women and girls who once played a variety of sports told The Associated Press in January they had been intimidated by the Taliban with visits and phone calls warning them not to engage in their sports.
