The letter was published by the Spanish law firm Ruiz Huerta and Crespo. It urged FIFA to not be neutral in this grave matter. The Iranian law excludes women from visiting stadiums, which goes directly against FIFA’s inclusive image.
This also shows how the Football federation of Iran is not Independent and it further strengthens Government’s derogatory influences. The letter has also pointed out that National players like Hossein Mahini, Aref Ghoulami have been threatened and imprisoned by the Iranian government.
The Government’s interference in national football and the constant dehumanization of women throughout the country are the core concern of the letter. FIFA is yet to take any decisions. However, the pressure is growing on Gianni Infantino to speak out on this matter.
