Hossain Rasouli (Pashto: حسین رسولي; born 10 August 1995)[1] is an Afghan Paralympic athlete. He represented Afghanistan at the 2020 Summer Paralympics. He was initially denied the opportunity to compete at his first Paralympics due to the Taliban takeover but he was later allowed by the International Paralympic Committee to compete at the event after being safely evacuated from Afghanistan.[2][3] His left arm was amputated due to a landmine explosion.[4]
