AFC checked if a player of the Iranian national team is a woman © JumpStory

The Asian Football Confederation received an unexpected request. The organization was officially asked whether Iranian national team goalkeeper Zohreh Koudaei is actually a woman. This requirement was presented by representatives of the Jordanian federation, who became suspicious after this team lost the penalty shootout at the end of last September. However, AFC does not engage in further discussion and confirmed that Z. Koudaei is not a man.

🚨BREAKING: per different sources the AFC has slammed the Jordanian allegations regarding Zoreh Koudaei, Iranian women national team goalkeeper's gender, and approved she is a female. Koudaei, Zob Ahan goalkeeper, has been a target for such allegations throughout the years. pic.twitter.com/rqprpDHIZS — BabaGol (@BabaGol_) November 15, 2021
