Afghan fans of the Toofan-e Hariroud football team cheer as they watch first Afghanistan premiere league final match, being played in Kabul, in a room in Herat on October 19, 2012. Eight teams took part in the league, with all games played in Kabul to try to minimise security risks in this war-torn country where Taliban insurgents are fighting to topple the Western-backed government of President Hamid Karzai. Football was one of the few types of entertainment not banned by the Taliban during their 1996-2001 rule. AFP PHOTO/ Aref KARIMI (Photo by Aref Karimi / AFP via Getty Images)
