The Vice President for legal affairs stated: “The Iranian government is in favor of women attending sports stadiums. There are no legal limitations on their presence.”
Nevertheless, Laya Joneydi stressed: “The three branches must act in coordination to allow women into stadiums.”
Joneydi, a lawyer herself, spoke about the law regarding the entry of women into stadiums: “I am not concerned about outside events. In my view, if an act has not been explicitly banned by law, it is a legal licence and order for it.”
She continued: “Women have not been explicitly banned from entering stadiums. As such, this is leglly allowed and I see no restrictions for women to enter stadiums.”
