Probably the most overlooked story of the 2018 FIFA World Cup resided in Iran. For almost 40 years, the de facto ban which was instituted after the 1979 Islamic Revolution had prevented Iranian women from attending sporting events. Any women who challenged this law risked imprisonment. But the longstanding policy softened for this year's World Cup. Thousands of women poured into Azadi Stadium in Tehran to watch live broadcasts of the Iranian National Team play in the group stages.
