About ASJF NEWS

Afghanistan’s sport. Independently reported. Globally connected.

ASJF NEWS is an independent sports news outlet working under the umbrella of the Afghanistan Sports Journalists Federation (ASJF) and ASJF in Exile. We report on Afghan sport for audiences in Afghanistan and around the world, publishing in English, Pashto and Dari.

What We Cover

Our coverage includes cricket, football, futsal, Olympic sports, other sports and sports media. We follow national teams, domestic competitions and Afghan athletes competing abroad, alongside international developments relevant to Afghan sport.

Through news, interviews, photography, features and editorial analysis, we explain the results, decisions and conditions shaping sport. Women’s sport, emerging athletes and communities beyond the major sporting centres are part of that coverage.

Our Editorial Independence

ASJF NEWS maintains editorial independence within its relationship with ASJF and ASJF in Exile. Our reporting serves the public interest. Institutional affiliation does not determine our conclusions or place any organisation beyond scrutiny.

We distinguish reporting from opinion and identify editorial analysis clearly. We assess statements from federations, officials, athletes and other sources on their evidence and relevance.

Our Standards

We aim to report accurately, fairly and with context. We check names, dates, results and quotations, attribute information to its source and make uncertainty clear when facts remain unconfirmed.

We respect the dignity and privacy of the people we cover. Photographs and other media should carry appropriate credits, and published reporting should identify the responsible reporter.

When we make a mistake, we correct it. Readers should be able to raise concerns about accuracy, fairness or our editorial conduct.

Our Relationship with ASJF and ASJF in Exile

ASJF and ASJF in Exile provide the institutional umbrella for ASJF NEWS. The newsroom’s role is to produce independent journalism about sport.

Our About page therefore describes the news outlet’s purpose and editorial responsibilities. Information about the federation’s membership, governance and professional programmes belongs to the organisations’ own institutional communications.
