Human rights organizations have called on FIFA to exclude Iran from the World Cup

Although Iran has lifted the ban since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, in recent years, under pressure from FIFA, AFP reported today that about 2,000 women with tickets had not been admitted to Tuesday’s qualification with Lebanon.

“Iran has broken its promise and banned women from entering stadiums again. In addition, women are still beaten and abused in the country,” said United for Navid, which is named after a wrestler executed for killing a police officer in anti-government protests.

Human Rights Watch said FIFA should abide by its anti-discrimination rules and punish Iran for violating the agreement. In response, FIFA said it was concerned about what was happening in Iran.
