Mixed Football Match

According to Al-Watan newspaper, an Iranian football club said yesterday it has suspended three officials for allowing the club's female team and its youth male squad to play against one another - the first such match since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
It was the first time in the 30 years of Iran's Islamic establishment that men and women played football together. Iran's strict Islamic rules ban any physical contact between unrelated men and women.

ee wallah .. allah yhadeehom .. and I'm so glad that they punished every person who was involved in this madness, they had suspended even the head coachs of both teams, men and women,for a year and a 20 million rial($2,000) fine. Hope it won't happen again.
