MODERATORS
They are almost like humans or something.
FIFA statutes prohibit discrimination by member federations.
So, this has less to do with Iran wanting to treat women like human beings, but more that they are being forced to under FIFA rules.
Or they're not willing to pay what it takes to bribe the right people to make it go away
Good for them, Saudi Arabia went through a similar process before. Though the more serious issue is the economy due to the sanctions. If the economy improves the society as a whole should become less conservative and reactive.
i think its scary that human rights are worth less than 'the economy'.
repulsive.
I think you misunderstood my comment or I’m misunderstanding yours.
Iran’s economy has suffered from sanctions and embargoes. But I don’t think you are arguing against this point. Are you perhaps arguing against the role of socioeconomic and material conditions in culture?
All I’m saying is that it will be easier for Iran to progress if it had a better economy. This statement is true and applies everywhere.
Wonder what not constantly terrorizing a people does for them.
So what will happen after they visit the game? Will they be beheaded?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Female soccer fans in Iran claimed a small win Thursday in their long campaign to be allowed into stadiums to watch men’s games after decades of exclusion.
A photograph was posted on social media by the campaign group Open Stadiums of three female fans inside the Azadi Stadium in Tehran for the game between city rivals Persepolis and Esteghlal.
“Historical day for women’s rights activists and the fight for equal access to public spaces will continue,” the activist group posted.
“Thanks to the ongoing dialogue between FIFA and the Islamic Republic of Iran Football Federation, progress is being made,” Infantino wrote in a post on his Instagram account.
The FIFA leader said he and Raisi had discussed in New York three months ago “the development of women’s football in the country and the progress made regarding the presence of women in football stadiums.”
FIFA statutes prohibit discrimination by member federations.
