According to the Twitter account of Tara Sepehri Far -- quoting Iranian news sources -- at one point the screening had been canceled. "But the doors are now open and screening will happen. Just unnecessary drama, anger and inconvenience for the fans who had bought tickets," tweeted Sepehri Far, who works as a Human Rights Watch (HRW) researcher. Iranian women cheer for their national team during the screening at Azadi stadium in the capital, Tehran. HRW has criticized the ban on women, which also runs counter to the FIFA statues, which prohibit gender discrimination.
