Shiva Amini, a member of Iran’s national futsal team, was deprived of playing futsal after she played in a friendly game abroad without covering her hair with the veil.
In a post on her Instagram, Ms. Amini wrote, “I had never thought that I would not ever be able to play in my own country again, because of a piece of cloth that I did not cover my head with and because my legs were not completely covered just in a private trip and not in an official competition.”
