These young ladies got their wish.
The UK government has approved visas for a group of young female footballers from Afghanistan.
The girls had fled to Pakistan after their country fell to the Taliban in August, and it was from there that they had told Sky News that they were desperate to find safety in the UK.
At the time, they had a little over a week left on their Pakistani visas and were fearful of what might happen to them if they were forced to return to Afghanistan, where the Taliban has banned girls from playing football.
