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.
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.
There are 2 sides to every story. For now, watch this news video about Chara Harris who has been BANNED from playing in the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. That’s SAD!
UPDATED! Kim Yeon Koung VS former club team! It looks like she is left with NO choice but to skip the 2012 Club World Champions due to MAJOR contract problems.
