After 40 years of ban, the Iranian parliament discusses "women's entry to the football stadiums"

 Iran's parliament plans to decide soon whether or not women should be allowed into football stadiums.

 Various media quoted the Secretary-General of the Iranian Football Association, Hassan Qamaranifar, as saying that "the Iranian Football Association submitted a draft to parliament... if it is approved, women will be able to enter football stadiums soon." But he did not provide further details. the details.

 It is noteworthy that women have been banned from attending football matches in Iranian stadiums for four decades.

 Conservative clerics in Iran believe that women have nothing to do in stadiums with their fanatic male fans and their vulgar slogans.

 Approval of such a law by the country's parliament appears unlikely to observers given that the legislature is dominated by hardliners.

 After increasing pressure from FIFA, Iran relented in October 2019 and allowed some 4,000 women into Tehran's Azadi Stadium, at least for the World Cup qualifier against Cambodia.

 But after a few months, the Corona virus pandemic spread in Iran and since then all football matches are held without an audience.
