Who We Are?

Know About Us

Afghanistan Snowboard is an independent, nonprofit, and government-recognized organization dedicated to advancing snowboarding across Afghanistan. Since our founding in 2017, we have worked to promote the sport as a platform for youth empowerment, social inclusion, and national pride. We aim to inspire the next generation of Afghan athletes while fostering a sense of peace, unity, and opportunity through winter sports.

Our vision is to establish Afghanistan as a thriving hub for snowboarding in the region and beyond. We believe in using sport to reflect the strength, resilience, and beauty of Afghan society. Through meaningful programs and international partnerships, we aspire to represent a peaceful and hopeful image of Afghanistan to the world—one built on youth leadership, gender equality, and positive community transformation.

The Founder

A lifelong athlete and advocate for youth empowerment, Romal started Afghanistan Snowboard in 2016 with a bold vision: to introduce snowboarding to Afghan youth as a way to inspire peace, build resilience, and create opportunity in a conflict-affected nation.
