Female reporters were not allowed entry to the stadium to take pictures of the football match between women of Iran and Russia.
ISNA’s headline read, “Female reporters do not enter, the Russians are not wearing the veil!”
The state-run ISNA news agency wrote, “The women’s national football team of Iran was hosting the world’s second champion, when the Football Federation ironically banned entry of women reporters and photographers to this competition.” (The state-run ISNA news agency – October 17, 2016)
