KABUL — Tawfiqullahi Falah has been appointed as acting technical director of the Afghanistan Football Federation while retaining his role in the club licensing section, according to an official letter from the federation.

The letter, signed by Mohammad Yusuf Karigar of the office management and addressed to the federation's technical and professional deputy, states that the appointment follows a decision by the executive committee. The move aims to improve affairs in the technical and technical sections through changes in the structure and positions of the department.

Mohammad Tahir Raoufi previously served as technical director but was removed from the position some time ago due to a disagreement with the acting president of the federation.
