In 2002 the Norwegian Judo Federation started training Afghan judokas under an exchange program with the established that year with the federation slogan "Judo for Peace". What began as a modest effort took on a big scale as increasingly more Afghan children and teenagers enrolled in the training program, the demand rising further.

The result was a historic first: became the first ever Afghan female to participate in an Olympic competition (in 2004).^[1]
