An official at the sports ministry said on Sunday that women would be able to watch Team Melli - as the national team are known - at their next home game in Tehran's Azadi stadium. "Women can go to the Azadi stadium on October 10, 2019 to watch the match between the Iranian national team and Cambodia for the Qatar World Cup qualifier," said Jamshid Taghizadeh, the sports ministry's deputy for legal and provincial affairs.
"There is no legal ban (on the presence of women in stadiums] and we must activate the infrastructure, which is underway," he said, quoted by state news agency IRNA. "Our view on women, at all levels, is to prepare the necessary conditions for women's success."
