Thousands of Iranian women watch football match for first time

Posted by M10 on October 18, 2019

More than 3,000 Iranian women have crammed into a special section of a Tehran stadium to watch a World Cup qualifier against Cambodia, after they were allowed to buy match tickets for the first time in four decades.

An Iranian sports journalist says she's shaking at the excitement of being allowed inside Azadi stadium to watch Iran play Cambodia in a World Cup play-off. She seems breathless and close to tears as she thanks officials for the opportunity. https://t.co/B8rC504Le7
