Three things for September 23
1. FIFA states that Iran should allow women to attend sports events
The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) announced Saturday that after visiting Iran to preview the country before a World Cup qualifying game next month, they are eager to dismiss the ban on women attending sports events.
The ban, which has been in effect for 40 years, does not allow women to enter any sports games—including the World Cup qualifying game. FIFA stated they met with government officials on Thursday and discussed “international relations, security and ticketing matters,” to make progress in allowing women the right to attend all sporting events in the country.
