Additional information Due to renovations at
Azadi Stadium,
Tehran's rivals
Esteghlal and
Persepolis had to play their home matches at other stadiums for several months. This led to a significant decline in their attendance. On 16 December 2024, the
Iranian El Clásico between
Sepahan and
Persepolis was played at the
Naghsh-e Jahan Stadium without the presence of male fans. Instead, only female fans were allowed to attend the match. A total of 45,000 women attended the match and saw Sepahan win 2–1 at home.
FIFA President
Gianni Infantino then expressed his gratitude for the high number of female spectators at a top match in the Iranian professional league. The return match on 18 April 2025 was also played exclusively in front of female spectators. The match on matchday 17 between
Nassaji and
Aluminium Arak also took place in front of an exclusively female audience of 10,000. 10,000 exclusively female spectators also attended the match between
Persepolis and
Esteghlal Khuzestan on matchday 25. For the match between
Chadormalou and
Foolad on matchday 28, only women were allowed to purchase tickets, with the host offering discounted tickets. Also, on the same match day, Nassaji played only in front of a female audience again. The match between
Tractor and
Esteghlal on matchday 25 was officially attended by 90,000 spectators in the overcrowded
Yadegar-e Emam (Sahand) Stadium. Several thousand more fans gathered around the stadium to watch the game. Including the 90,000 spectators inside the stadium, a total of approximately 100,000 to 120,000 people were on or near the stadium area. The large number of people around the game also attracted international attention. Previously, 90,000 fans were present at the match against
Persepolis on the second matchday. ==See also==
