The decision to allow women into the stadium was confirmed by Yahoo News on October 4th, 2021. Football fans were not allowed into the stadium for over a year due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

The last time women were allowed into a stadium in Iran to watch a football match was in October 2019 when Iran beat Cambodia 14-0.

Women were first banned from entering stadia in Iran after the Islamic revolution in 1979.
