TEHRAN - A group of Iranian female soccer fans used false beards to challenge a ban on women’s presence in football matches and managed to enter the stadium and encourage their team to win a local league tournament.
Video clips and a wide variety of photos were posted on the websites showing these five young women cheering the names of their favorite players, while wearing wigs and false beards.
The girls were fans of Perspolis, one of the most prominent teams in Tehran, which had already won the professional championship and won the trophy after the match against the Spidrod Rasht scoring three goals.
The girls carried red flags of Persepolis and raised six fingers to the cameras, a gesture that is very popular among the fans of the team supporting the club to repeat one of the most famous results, 6-0.
One of the girls, called Zahra, spoke to a local sports newspaper. She said that there were eight members of the group and had made similar attempts to enter the stadium earlier.
