After an exciting round of regional tournaments across eight regional zones of Afghanistan to select top 26 players for each eight teams of RAPL, it is time for inter-squad matches to  finalize the 21-man squad for each team. It is the final test for the 26 players who have already been selected for the eight RAPL teams during the regional tournaments.

De Spinghar Bazan represent the east regional zone of the country in RAPL. 2014 was a good year for this team as they secured third place ranking after defeating De Maiwand Atalan. This was the first year they reached the semi-finals of the tournament following a unproductive year in 2013

For players who will get to play for any of the eight teams, this could  be nothing short of a life-changing event. RAPL puts the spotlight on the players and that means more exposure and more opportunities for emerging football talents to excel in their personal and professional lives.

This year, Afghanistan National Football team's coach and his assistant have already announced their commitment to evaluate players in the RAPL main event matches and invite the promising players to the national team.
