Iran is at risk of being eliminated from the 2022 World Cup

According to a source from Sport Mediaset, the Iranian Football Federation has violated FIFA’s rules. Accordingly, in the Lebanon match in the last match of the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, Iran banned women from entering the field.

Specifically, in the match that took place on the evening of March 29, Iran welcomed Lebanon in the final match of the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup at Imam Reza’s home ground. As a result, Iran won 2-0, thereby winning tickets to Qatar with the first place in Group A.

Notably, right before the match took place, about 2,000 female fans were banned from entering the field even though they had bought tickets.

Soon after, the captain of the Iranian team – Alireza Jahanbakhsh also spoke out to criticize this approach.

“I think nothing will happen if women go to the stadium. It even helps us spread the culture” – Alireza said.

In 2019, FIFA warned Iran about the ban on women entering the field. Because this is a repeat offense, the officials of the Iranian Football Federation are very worried about the fate of the home team.

An official of this agency, Mehrdad Seradschi, admitted on Twitter that: “I have heard disturbing news from FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation”. In particular, according to Sport Mediaset, the heaviest penalty that FIFA can give is the exclusion of the Iranian team from the 2022 World Cup.

The above information has raised the possibility that Iran will be eliminated by FIFA from the 2022 World Cup. If this becomes a reality, Italy will be the happiest team because the “sky” shirt team has a high chance of replacing Iran. going to Qatar at the end of this year.
