I mean even North Korea has sports teams that go abroad so I don’t think it’s really shocking. Like what difference is 40 people leaving your country to go play a sport? Maybe a couple don’t come back (doubtful) but I’m pretty sure most of the team play in other leagues regardless outside of Afghanistan.
It’s basically free propaganda if they do well and if they don’t do well, you either act like they never played or that they played valiantly.
