آخرین روزی که زنان ایرانی اجازه پیدا کردند در ورزشگاه آزادی، بازی پرسپولیس و استقلال را از نزدیک تماشا کنند.

Few days till women's football derby,
All the men got banned from attending women's football in Iran.

Not that stadiums were accessible to all the male spectators before, but now Women's league again went back to a dark side that is more like boycotting women's sport.

🌍🗣️ ADD YOUR VOICE: Global petition calls for Infantino to resign & @FIFAcom reform.

The time to act is now. #InfantinOUT

[OpenStadiums @openStadiums]

For the Iranian fans whose rights were ignored in 2026 World Cup, and for the women fans who still do not have full access to stadiums in Iran.
It’s time for change at #FIFA. Join the call and ask Infantino to resign from the dictatorship they have built.

While in new season of #Iran's men #football league, female fans are bringing great vibe to the stadium,

After a dramatic day for group G,
an informative article about team Iran,
The fans rights specially Iranian women, and what they think of the TeamMelli and the #worldcup

Few minutes before #IRN vs. #NZL match at the worldcup,
A reminder that no Iranian passport holders are in the stadium.(except dual nationals).
First time with such a discrimination at a mega sport event,
Nothing new for Iranian women.

[OpenStadiums @openStadiums]

Infantino angers human rights activists.

For Iranian women, it's déjà vu all over again.

Another ban preventing fans from attending Iran's matches.

@websterkaroon Iranian passport holders were denied visas regardless of where they bought their tickets.

[OpenStadiums @openStadiums]

FIFA has revoked the ticket allocation for Iran fans at the team's three World Cup games in the United States.

[OpenStadiums @openStadiums]

With only a few days remaining until the 2026 Men's World Cup, a key question remains unanswered: what about the rights of fans who want to attend TeamMelli matches?

Iranian fans are effectively unable to obtain U.S. visas, despite holding match tickets.

#FIFA congress in Vancouver and question is remains unanswered:
Why fans of certain countries can't obtain visa even with FIFA pass?!

Iran is one of them.

[OpenStadiums @openStadiums]

Former “#TeamMelli” captain #MasoudShojaei,
one of the few key supporters of the women's Stadium campaign,
has had his assets seized by the Iranian regime for backing Iranians’ human rights.

Female football captain #ZahraGhanbari has also had her assets confiscated.

[OpenStadiums @openStadiums]

Last year Iran men's football team got qualified for the worldcup on this day and not only @FIFAcom didn't do anything when Iranian fans banned entirely from the worldcup,
Now the team has to play in a country that invaded Iran, killing lots of innocent people including children.

[OpenStadiums @openStadiums]

On the first day of Iranian year, under bombs and facing inside oppressions and with internet shutdown,
It's difficult to be hopeful specially for upcoming worldcup!

Wish all the fans and specially women, some speedy healing and safety in this new year.

FIFPRO Asia/Oceania has released the following statement regarding the Iran Women's National Team players.

[OpenStadiums @openStadiums]

@Nasrinaq287 No, on state tv they called them "traitors to the homeland during war" after first the match and call for severe punishment.

[OpenStadiums @openStadiums]

What changed from Iran women's football team from the first and second match?!

True, pressure from the Islamic Republic regime on players and coaches and probably on their families.
Such a shame in this critical situation.

Azadi Arena
the place where we were last allowed to watch the men's national volleyball team in 2014 has been destroyed in the bombardment.

In those same years, Khamenei’s office ordered that women be banned from attending volleyball matches.

FIFPRO is deeply concerned by the prolonged detention of professional footballer Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh in Iran and by information suggesting that additional players may be affected.

We call for clarity regarding the reasons for these detentions, assurances about their safety and well-being, and transparency from the relevant authorities.

We stand in solidarity with all players facing detention or repression.
