Ruling soccer body FIFA canceled Friday's game in Amman and declared Jordan 3-0 winners after the Iranian authorities refused to allow their players to remove their full headscarves in accordance with the FIFA dress code. FIFA's article 4 says that players are not allowed to wear religiously or politically associated clothing.
Well, rules are rules but I guess, in this case, they had been written by a westerner. We have already big problems with muslims because of cultural differences and this doesn't seem the right way to solve them. Strangely, the decision was made in the name of freedom!
Why let anyone else choose what you're allowed to wear?
If Iranian women are happy with that, what's the matter?
It only seems very uncomfortable to play wrapped in that way in the heat of the Middle-East but this is another matter.
