Months after Mashhad's stadium incidents, yesterday was the last day that Iran's FA should answer FIFA's complain later.
Evidences are completely clear that all these brutality could not happen if FIFA would pay more attention to pattern of discriminations in Iran's football.

Going through old folders, I found part of the @MenInTheArena film. People can have different attachments to stadiums. The one re-opening in Mogadishu today, hopefully a small step towards better times in Somalia. 🇸🇴

[OpenStadiums @openStadiums]

Persepolis F.C asked their fans to send a photo to have a cardboard of their faces in stadium, during Covid19,
But this is available only for "male" fans!
Even on cardboards female fans have no place in Iranian stadiums.

Few years ago, I got an email from @jrbiersmith re: a film he was making: @MenInTheArena, about football in Somalia. The country loves football. But civil war shut it down. Big news. Stadium Mogadishu reopening after 16 years this week. https://t.co/zB9bu1V7JY

16 year old boy murdered in Mexico. His teammates took him to where they used to play football. And let him score, one last time. Never seen something like this.
