TEHRAN (Iran News) – Iran’s World Cup qualifier against Cambodia on Thursday will be a landmark moment for the country, as women will be able to officially enter a football stadium for the first time.
The initial allocation of 3,500 tickets for female fans was quickly sold out — reportedly in under an hour — before an additional 1,100 were released for the match at the national Azadi Stadium. Iran News quotes story of women entering Azadi for Iran-Cambodia football games.
“Everybody is aware of problems but, of course, with issues like women safety, you’re worried they might have sold 3,500 tickets for women but there will be multiple numbers outside trying to get in.
“It’s a very changeable situation, so everybody is waiting, holding their breath and hoping that Iranian women will finally get to see the national team play a game of football in their home country.”
