Newsday

Available for over a year

Leading Iranian female footballer Niloufar Ardalan, known locally as 'Lady Goal', captain of the Iranian woman's team, was prevented from leading her team at the final of the Asian Futsal championship in September in Malaysia. The reason? Her husband refused her permission to renew her passport. She took the matter to court and they found in her favour. The Âé¶¹Éç's Pooria Jafereh tells us more. (Photo: Niloufar Ardalan.
