Afghanistan's Taliban government doesn't perceive the three female competitors who will address the country at the Paris Olympic Games this month, a representative for their games office said.
The Global Olympic Board of trustees (IOC) has welcomed a crew of six Afghan competitors — three ladies and three men — in counsel with Afghanistan's to a great extent banished public Olympic council.
"Just three competitors are addressing Afghanistan," said Atal Mashwani, the representative of the Taliban government's games directorate, alluding to the male contenders.
"At present, in Afghanistan young ladies' games have been halted. At the point when young ladies' game isn't drilled, how might they go in the public group?" he told AFP.
Each of the three of the ladies and two of the male competitors are living external Afghanistan.
The only one preparation in the nation is a judo warrior, while his crew mates will highlight in games and swimming.
The ladies will contend in sports and cycling.
The IOC said it had not counseled Taliban authorities about the group and they were not welcome to the games.
Representative Imprint Adams last month affirmed Afghanistan's public Olympic board — including the president and secretary-general who are both living far away, banished in shame — remain "its only conversationalists for the arrangement and cooperation of the Afghan group".
In any case, Afghan panel Chief Father Mohammad Payenda Akhtari, who is still in the nation, said while female competitors were coordinated abroad, his council facilitated with Taliban specialists over the male ones.
Mashwani asserted the public authority was supporting them with preparing and grants.
"We just assume a sense of ownership with three male competitors partaking in the Olympics," he told AFP.
The members will contend under the dark, red and green banner of the old Western-supported government which disintegrated after the withdrawal of US troops quite a while back.
Since flooding back to control in 2021, the Taliban government has authorized checks extracting ladies from sports as well as auxiliary schools and colleges.
The Unified Countries has portrayed the limitations as "orientation politically-sanctioned racial segregation".
The IOC restricted Afghanistan from the games in 1999, during the main time of Taliban rule somewhere in the range of 1996 and 2001 when ladies were additionally banished from sports.
Afghanistan was reestablished after the Taliban were expelled by the post-9/11 attack, however the Paris games mark the main summer Olympics since their return.
This time the IOC has adopted an alternate strategy — endorsing the Afghan group under a framework guaranteeing every one of the 206 countries are addressed, in situations where competitors wouldn't in any case qualify.
