Tehran women’s Naft futsal team was suspended on Tuesday, December 12, 2017, following a letter by the General Director of Youths and Sports of Tehran Province, Reza Gol Mohammadi.
The letter contained a long list of appointments and dismissals of Tehran officials in charge of sports, which had ultimately dissuaded the team’s sponsor from supporting the team. (The state-run ISNA news agency – December 12, 2017)
