Women in Iran will be able to attend football matches, starting with a World Cup qualifier next month, according to football's world governing body, Fifa.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino said he discussed the issue with the Iranian authorities after the death of a female fan earlier this month.
Mr Infantino said they assured him that women would be allowed into matches.

Earlier this month, football fan Sahar Khodayari died after being arrested for trying to go to a match disguised as a man. [BBC] Read more
