Tehran's prosecutor also demanded a ban on the participation of men in women's soccer. Referring to the presence of spectators without the mandatory hijab at soccer matches and what was called "non-compliance with Sharia standards", Tehran's prosecutor demanded a ban on the presence of men, from spectators to journalists and managers, at official women's soccer matches. The decision made earlier by the Football League organization was met with protests by female players and criticism for limiting their right to be seen. Zamane Radio.
