This is reported by Arabian Business. This is the first time in the history of the country when women will be allowed to watch football matches live. The first fights they will be able to see from 12 to 14 January.
However, the authors of this practice still decided to restrict women to their separate sector in the football stadium, in order to prevent sexual harassment from the male part of the fans.
The right to enter the women's pool has already been confirmed by three stadiums - King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah and Prince Mohammad bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam. Earlier, the FIBA ??leadership allowed athletes to play basketball at international competitions in hijabs.
As reported in "URA-Inform," former Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi, former head coach of the national team, led the national team of Saudi Arabia.
