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.
Iran's women football league banned men from football stadiums. This is a copy of the letter.

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. change.org/p/global-petition…

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. faz.net/aktuell/sport/fussba…

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.

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. #Nowruz

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. #WAC2026 #IRNAUS

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.

Massacre happened in Iran and with following internet shutdown, kept all of us in an immense shock and sadness. Many fans and also athletes got killed: faz.net/aktuell/sport/sportp… We encourage fans and human rights organizations to pressure on FIFA and IOC for accountability.
