Large numbers of people are at the airport in Kabul in the hope of being able to leave the country as soon as possible.
On Monday, several people tried to escape the country by cling to an American plane that was about to take off.
Fell from the plane
Video footage from the incident shows what appears to be two people who fell from the plane after it had taken off. Zaki Anwari (19) is said to have been one of them.
In a statement on Facebook, the Sports Directorate pays tribute to the 19-year-old.
May he rest in heaven and pray to God for family, friends and sports colleagues, they write.
Remains were later found in a wheel well confirmed by the US military and said they were investigating reports of deaths related to the plane.
“Before the crew could unload the cargo, the plane was surrounded by hundreds of civilians,” said Ann Stefanek, spokeswoman for the US Air Force, according to Reuters.
