Iran women freely attended football match for first time in decades
12.10.19 / 08:19
Elated female fans wore the national green, white and red flag around their shoulders and over their hair as they streamed into a tiny section of Tehran's Azadi Stadium for Iran's 2022 World Cup qualifier against Cambodia.
Some donned sporty hats over their headscarves, while others painted their faces with the colours of the flag.
Their beaming smiles underscored a day that felt victorious for the female fans, even before the match began.
And with every goal the Iranian team scored, the cheers in the women's section grew louder.
By the end of the game, the Iranian side had won with a blowout of 14-0.
