2018-05-01 2

A group of women in Iran have worn fake facial hair and dressed as men in order to watch a soccer match from inside the Azadi Stadium in Tehran, where women spectators are forbidden by law.

In these clips from the stadium, the women appear to be at a Friday, April 27, match between Persepolis, who they support, and Sepidrood Rasht.

In the second clip, the uploader, Mohadeseh Mahdavifar, can be heard talking about how one day they would be able to watch a game while wearing women’s clothes, according to a translation from a Storyful journalist.
