A report has been sent to the Asian Football Confederation by the Jordan Football Association to find out what gender one of the Iranian players was who played in the final qualifying match for the Asian Cup in Uzbekistan.
The president of the Jordan Football Association, Ali Bin Al-Hussein, posted a “tweet” asking for an investigation to be started and the right steps to be taken. in case it is not clear whether a player is allowed to be in a tournament.
After the final game, where the Iranian women’s team beat the Jordanian team on penalties, this happened. The Iranian goalie, whose gender is unclear, played brilliantly in that game.
Because the Jordan Football Association provided proof and this competition is so important, we ask the AFC to start an open and honest investigation by a group of independent medical experts to check the player’s eligibility and the eligibility of others on the team. This is especially important since the Iranian women’s soccer team has a history of gender problems and doping.
The first half of the game, which took place at Bunyodkor Stadium in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, finished in a 0-0 tie. The game went to penalties, which were won by Iran to move up in the rankings to the G level.
