Iran censors soccer match over 100 times due to woman referee
In the continuation of this report, a reference has been made to the conditions of women's presence in Iranian stadiums:
In 2019, Iranian women were granted access to enter football stadiums for the first time in decades to watch the sport live and in person.
The country had originally barred female spectators from football and other stadiums for around 40 years before FIFA threatened to suspend the Islamic republic over its controversial gender policies.
For their 2022 World Cup qualifier against Cambodia in October 2019, which they won an emphatic 14-0, Iran allocated just 4,000 tickets for women in a stadium that seats about 80,000 people, keeping them separated from men and under the protection of female police officers.
