Gender and footballFriday 16 November 2001
Ireland and Iran met yesterday for the second leg of their World Cup qualifying play-off in Tehran.

Iranian women fans were banned from the stadium - and the Irish women fans segregated for the match and expected to cover their heads. Martha talks to Keith Cooper, Director of Communications at FIFA, about whether it is endorsing discrimination and why it is that people can no longer get away with the claim that sports and politics just don't mix.
Amanda Bennett of the Womens Sports Foundation, joins the discussion.
