About PSC

The Peace and Sports Council of Afghanistan (PSC) was founded in 2012, marking the inception of a significant initiative aimed at promoting unity, youth empowerment, and equal rights within Afghanistan. Based in Kabul, the organization began its noble pursuit by actively engaging with its community, notably extending support and opportunities to approximately 500 orphans.

One of the early successes of PSC involved hosting tournaments that not only fostered community integration but provided young athletes with a platform to demonstrate their talents. The organization’s influence rapidly spread across the country, encompassing different zones, such as the northern and southeast areas, each covering five provinces.

The ambition of PSC was not confined to domestic territories; it soon reached an international scale by appointing representatives in several countries, including the USA, Egypt, Russia, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, and India. These global connections enabled the forging of partnerships with various organizations in the Czech Republic, Italy, Iran, and Monaco.

Always innovating, PSC initiated projects that broke new ground, such as introducing surfing to Afghanistan for the first time. This endeavor, accomplished in collaboration with the Wave Riders Association of Afghanistan (WRAA) and Surf Anywhere organization, added an unprecedented dimension to Afghan sports culture.

The commitment of PSC to equality and empowerment was further demonstrated through its efforts to promote physical activity among women within its headquarters community. The organization ensured that women’s rights were aligned with those of men, encouraging a more equitable participation in sports and physical wellness.

An extraordinary milestone in PSC’s journey was the establishment of the first professional MMA cage fighting tournaments in Afghanistan, a pioneering move that not only promoted the sport but positioned PSC as an influential promoter.

However, the fall of Kabul to the Taliban imposed restrictions on PSC’s operations, compelling a relocation of its headquarters to Germany. Despite this challenge, the core values of youth empowerment, equal rights, unity, and peace that underpinned the PSC remained undeterred.

Throughout its existence, PSC has been a beacon of hope and a catalyst for positive change, transcending geographical boundaries and societal norms. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of sports, dialogue, and collaboration in fostering a more united and equitable society.

History of Peace and Sports Council of Afghanistan

The Peace and Sports Council of Afghanistan (PSC) was established in 2012, originating from a profound aspiration to create an environment conducive to youth empowerment and the promotion of equal rights. The institution, initially headquartered in Kabul, Afghanistan, is the brainchild of Lieutenant General Mohammad Zahir Aghbar, an influential figure in Afghan sports administration, who founded the organization while serving as the President of the National Olympic Committee of Afghanistan. A key driving force in this initiative has been his son, Ehsanullah Aghbar, who now presides over the PSC.

At the core of PSC’s foundation was a strong belief in the transformative potential of the country’s youth and a commitment to equality that transcends societal boundaries. The aim was to create an environment where the youth are nurtured into becoming the leaders of tomorrow, and equal rights are not merely a conceptual ideal, but a lived reality for every Afghan citizen. This vision seeks to harness the spirit of sportsmanship, fostering an atmosphere of unity, fairness, and respect, thereby contributing to peace and prosperity in Afghanistan.

LTG Mohammad Zahir Aghbar and Ehsanullah Aghbar’s joint vision recognized that promoting youth empowerment and equal rights could act as powerful catalysts for positive change. As such, the PSC was established as a beacon of hope, exemplifying the potential for growth and unity amidst a landscape often characterized by division and conflict. Today, the organisation continues to uphold these principles, embodying the dream of a more equitable and peaceful Afghanistan.

Our work is guided by a set of core values that shape our actions and initiatives.

Our vision at PSC is to create a harmonious and equitable global society where unity, empowerment, and opportunities flourish.
