Blatter to the Iranian authorities: Let the women in the stadiums

6.03.2015

The FIFA President Sepp Blatter urged Iran to lift the ban on women attending football matches in this country. In the words of Blatter that was too intolerant brand.
'When I traveled to Iran in November 2013, I encountered not only the immense popularity of football in the country, but with the law, which forbids women to attend soccer matches. I spoke with the President of Iran Hasan Ruhani and I was under the impression that this thing can be changed. But nothing like that happened. The ban is still in force. This can't continue. Hence my appeal to the Iranian authorities is: open stadiums for the ladies.', said Blatter for FIFA's weekly magazine.
