AKI - Some 100,000 Iranian women have signed a
petition sent to world football's governing body FIFA to pressure the
Iranian government to scrap a law which bans women from going to stadiums to
watch matches. "We've been trying for over a decade to convince the Islamic
Republic's leaders that it is our right to enter stadiums to watch games,"
Nasrin Afzali, one of the organisers of the petition campaign told Adnkronos
International (AKI) in a telephone interview from Tehran. |
