Toofan Harirod Wins APL Cup For Third Time

Toofan Harirod F.C. won the Afghanistan Premier League's (APL) Cup for the second year in a row and for the third time in its career after beating Shaheen Asmayee F.C. which has won the title four times.

The only goal of the match was scored by Toofan’s Hatam Shirdil at 95th minute of the match.

Shaheen had many in 90 minutes of the match but could not score a goal.

But the extra times started with back to back attacks by Toofan which finally helped them to score the only goal of the match.

Shaheen again created many chances for a goal despite playing with 10 players after 100th minute of the match.

The two teams faced each other in last year’s final match as well.

The thrilling match was between Shaheen Asmayee, from the capital, Kabul, the four times title holder of APL, and Toofan Harirod, from the western zone, at the Afghanistan FootballFederation stadium in Kabul.

Toofan Harirod won the APL cup when the league was first launched in 2012.

Shaheen Asmayee, De Maiwand Atalan, Toofan Harirod, Simorgh Alborz, Mawjhai Amu, De Spinghar Bazan, De Abasin Sape, and Oqaban Hindukosh are the eight APL teams representing all 34 provinces in Afghanistan.

The 2019 season of the Afghan Premier League, centered around the message “One nation – One voice”, kicked off earlier this month.

The APL was launched six years ago and is held annually at regional and national levels.

Eight zones are represented in the APL – which is staged over six months, starting with regional selection tournaments and then ending with eighteen national league matches in Kabul.

Over the past six years, the annual tournament has grown tremendously in popularity and draws thousands of spectators and millions of TV viewers each year.

The league matches are held at Kabul Stadium each year.
