SADLY, Iranian women are still NOT allowed to watch volleyball in their country. We had hope the ongoing Beach Volleyball World Tour event in Kish Island would be the start.
We hope Iran will allow women to watch volleyball and other sports. This issue has been making headlines since the imprisonment of Ghoncheh Ghavami last year.
This is so MESSED UP IRAN! It was announced a few months ago that Iran would be singing a different tune and would start allowing women to enter the stadium and watch sports, ie volleyball.
FIVB President Dr. Ary S. Graça F° today welcomed the news that Iran has taken an important step towards easing the ban on women attending sporting matches in the country.
After that controversial case of Ghoncheh Ghavami which made world headlines, Iran will allow foreign women watch men play volleyball when it hosts an international championship this year, but Iranian women will still be banned.
