Below is president Infantino’s
statement.
I am hopeful that the
Iranian Federation and the Iranian authorities were receptive to our repeated
calls to address this unacceptable situation. I contacted them several
times in the recent past and so has the FIFA administration. We have a
delegation of FIFA members in Iran at the moment and I am looking forward to
hearing good news from them.
Our position is clear and
firm. Women have to be allowed into football stadiums in Iran. We understand there are
steps and processes that need to be taken before this is done in a proper and
safe way but now is the moment to change things and FIFA is expecting positive
developments starting in the next Iran home match in October.
