The Ukrainian Association of Football has called on FIFA to exclude Iran from the World Cup in Qatar.
The executive committee of the UAF claims it has made a request to the global governing body to kick Iran out of the tournament, over what it describes as the country’s ‘systematic human rights violations’.It has also cited the “possible involvement of Iran in the military aggression of Russia against Ukraine.”Anti-government protests have engulfed the Middle East country since the death in custody of a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, on September 16.
on the basis that the failure to allow women to attend matches in the country constituted a breach of FIFA’s own articles. Now Ukraine has added further political pressure, citing the Iranian government’s treatment of its own people and its suggestion that the regime in Tehran could be supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
