Iran on Thursday allowed women to attend a football match of the national championship in Tehran the club reported that for the first time since the Islamic revolution in 1979 Esteghlalconcerned about this decision.

For more than 40 years, the Islamic Republic has banned Iranian women from attending football matches as spectators.

However, women were able to access their national team opposition in January for the first time in almost three years during the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Qatar against Iraq.

As an “exceptional event,” Esteghlal, the capital’s club, announced that it had offered “balloons, blue flags and flowers” to the fans, according to a statement released by the official Irna agency.

“This is a historic event. First time fans Esteghlal will go to the Azadi stadium (in Tehran) to support his team in the match against Mes Kerman,” announced Hamshahrinewspaper of the mayor’s office of the Iranian capital.

Case of Sahara Khodayari

In September 2019 Sugar KhodayariAn Esteghlal fan, 30, has died after burning herself to death in court for fear of going to jail for wanting to attend a match.

Nicknamed “The Blue Girl” because of the colors of her favorite team, she tried to enter the stadium dressed as a boy.

His death sparked protests, with many calling for Iran to be banned from international meetings and to boycott its clashes.

After Khodayari’s death, world football’s governing body, FIFA, ordered Iran to allow women access to football fields.

In honor of Khodayari fans Esteghlal this Thursday they chanted their nickname “Blue Girl”.

In early April, the decision by the authorities to once again deny women access to a stadium in the east of the country for a national team match sparked outrage in Iran.

Security forces dispersed the demonstrators with tear gas, according to images shared by local media.

In early August, the Iranian sports minister Hamid Sajadiannounced that FIFA had proposed “in a new letter” to allow women’s participation.

“We have no problem with the presence of women in stadiums,” Sajjadi told the media.

Priests who play an important role in Iranian decision-making argue that women should be shielded from the masculine atmosphere and from the sight of men in sportswear whose bodies are partially visible. (AFP)
