Women have been prohibited from attending football matches in Iran since 1979 but FIFA is attempting to have the ban removed
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has called on Iranian authorities to repeal a long-standing ban on women entering football grounds.
The head of football's governing body released a statement on Thursday after Sahar Khodayari died from self-inflicted burn wounds.
Khodayari had been arrested by authorities in March for trying to sneak into the Azadi Stadium while disguised as a man and charged with 'improperly wearing hijab' and jailed for three days before being released on bail.
