The leading Iranian football club has apologised for allowing its women's team and its men's youth team to play each other. Esteghlal football club, which was top of the Iranian league, said it had penalised three officials. This was the first mixed football match since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the Associated Press reported. Mixed sports are strictly forbidden in Iran. Women are not even allowed into football grounds to watch men's games.
