However, Iranian female fans are still banned from attending the volleyball games in their home country, and that would still be a big obstacle for Iran in getting the organization of any major tournament.

Iran is coming to play against Finland in Spring 2015… We invite ALL Women
to the match!!! At least things are improving, but most important fans are those of your own country.
