Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute: On Afghanistan's favourite sports

Afghanistan is a country often in the headlines for bad news - but it’s also a nation that refuses to be defined by the security challenges and violence that it faces.

In this Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute series we’re exploring five things you might not know about the country - including the sports that have surged in popularity since the end of the Taliban’s rule in 2001.

Sana Safi, an Afghan journalist and presenter for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Pashto has been talking to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute’s Tom Bayly.
