Asad Ziar, Chief Executive Officer, Afghanistan Rugby Federation says" I think we should believe that sport is a strong tool for bringing peace, stability and brotherhood in Afghanistan, and not the weapons and war planes, since we have witnessed that with the bombings and fights nothing has been achieved.The security situation in Afghanistan is worsening day by day, and it seems that if it continues the same way and strategy I am sure that not only in the next decade but in the next century peace will not be stable in Afghanistan. The line has been drawn by Afghanistan cricket, and the Afghan Cricket Board has their own grounds and stadiums in all the zones of the country.It is now clear that no one will come to help Afghan Rugby until they show their own momentum for the rapid development and progress of the game, and to participate in international competitions.It is understood that there is no commercial organization which will come to help Afghan Rugby, until it achieves a noticeable status in the world - not only in Afghanistan.The Afghanistan Rugby Federation (ARF) was formed and registered less than two years ago and got the affiliation with the Asian Rugby Football Union (ARFU) in November last year.Asad Ziar, CEO Afghan Rugby " It is a pleasure that the federation has played very effective role in the development of rugby with no resources and facilities in their hands. There is no budget allocated for the players or the management of the federation, their aim is not working for money but for the development of sport in Afghanistan and to expand the game of rugby to each and every part of the country.It is a big achievement for Afghanistan Rugby Federation that in less than two years Afghanistan will mark its first-ever official Asian Rugby Football Union competition in Mumbai, having played in an unofficial three-match sevens competition against the United Arab Emirates development side, UAE Shaheen, earlier this year in Dubai. Despite lacking experience, the Afghans have the physical attributes required at international level and managed to take one match out of the three in a promising start in Dubai.[6]
