Following a remarkable round of regional tournaments across eight regional zones of Afghanistan to select the top 26 players for each of the eight RAPL teams, it is now time for the inter-squad matches to finalize the 21-man squad for each team. It will be the final test for the 26 players who have already been selected for the teams to showcase their talent and make the final cut.

De Abasin Sape failed to pass the group stage of the competition and didn't win a single game last year. Unfortunately, this team hasn't been able to exhibit good football on the pitch over the last three RAPL seasons. In an effort to rebuilt and restructure the team and change things around,  18 fresh faces have been added to their squad this year. Some of the top tier football players from other regions have also shown interest and joined the team. Expectorations are high for De Abasin to skip the shadow of their past and surprise everyone with their exceptional play this year
For players who will be participating in this tournament, 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 football lives.

In an effort to gather the nation’s top talents, the Afghanistan National Football team's coach as well as theassistant coaches has announced their commitment to evaluate players in the RAPL main event matches and invite the top tier players to the national team. The 2015 RAPL tournament is set to kick-off on August 27th and will be the biggest football event in Afghanistan.
