Iranian soccer team accused of having a guy pretend to be a female player
After a recent women’s soccer match between Iran and Jordan in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), Jordan is accusing their rivals of disguising a male player as a female.
The Iran women’s football team goalkeeper in question is Zohreh Koudaei, she saved two penalties during a crucial penalty shoot-out win against Jordan. This game took place back in September but now the president of the Jordan Football Association, Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein, sent a tweet requesting a gender verification check.
