Iran
Expect similar scenes to those seen in Brazil in 2014, as Iran is approximately 510 miles by air from the FIFA 2022 World Cup host country, Qatar. With the state granting women the right to watch stadium matches in 2022, many are likely to travel to support their country.
This brightly-painted fan was pictured outside Baixada Arena in Curitiba, Brazil, on her way to watch her nation eke out a 0-0 draw with African soccer giants Nigeria. In Iran, female spectators are expected to dress more formally, according to Muslim women’s standards, unlike how many did in Russia during the 2018 event.
