Iranian football - a historic event

Today's World Cup qualifying match for the Iranian national team was exceptional.

In the AFC qualification Group C, the Asian team crushed Cambodia at home by 14-0.

The match stood out not only for the rare result.

After almost a 40-year break, women were allowed into the stadium in Iran, where they could live to see their idols.

Excitement and joy as women enter #Iran’s Azadi Stadium to watch a football match. They’ve been banned from purchasing tickets for the past 38 years and have been facing arrest and prosecution for decades to win back this right. #FIFA pic.twitter.com/d1Q4ZcSg8p
