- Iranian women entered the country's national stadium in Teheran on Thursday after being able to purchase tickets for a national team football game for the first time in 40 years.
The tickets are for a special women-only section of the stadium, a decision that has been criticised by some campaigners who would prefer women to be able to attend with their male family members. "Now that the government has decided to let women into Azadi stadium... we must be hopeful that the spectators will try to respect Iranian women in order to change the public atmosphere of the stadium," the report said.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino has urged the authorities to open up stadiums to women for all games, not just World Cup qualifiers.
