    Iranian women attend domestic football match after 40-year ban

    Iranian women attend domestic football match after 40-year ban

    The Supreme National Security Council of Iran has allowed women to attend football matches of men's teams for the first time in 44 years, as reported by ISNA.

    "A working group has been formed and tasked with determining how to implement this," said Mehdi Taj, the head of Iran's Football Federation.

    He added that the country will also establish a radio station dedicated to women's sports.

    Taj noted that women will be permitted to enter four arenas in different provinces of the country: "Gol Gohar" in Sirjan, "Naqsh-e Jahan" and "Foolad Shahr" in Isfahan, and "Ghadir" in Ahvaz. The Azadi Stadium in Tehran will also be prepared for women's attendance in the near future.

    The recent attendance of hundreds of Iranian women at a domestic football match in Tehran marks a significant milestone after a ban lasting over 40 years. The ban, which prohibited women from entering sports stadiums, was implemented shortly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. However, for the first time in decades, approximately 500 women were granted access to Tehran's Azadi stadium to witness a league match between Esteghlal FC and Sanat Mes Kerman FC.

    To ensure gender segregation, the women were separated from men within the stadium and utilised a designated entrance located in the car park. While the ban was not formally enshrined in legislation, it had been strictly upheld until this recent development. Prior to this landmark event, women had only been allowed to attend a limited number of matches featuring the national team.
