An opinion about the entry of women into the stadium Sahar Qureshi stated in an interview in December 2016 that he is against women going to the gym and that he is “disgusted” when men are with him. He had previously gone to Bin Zayed Stadium to watch the game between Persepolis and Al-Hilal in Abu Dhabi, and photos of him in this stadium were posted on the internet. This opinion caused widespread criticism, especially on the internet. People like Mahnaz Afshar, Masih Alinejad, and Salome Sidnia reacted to Sahar Qureshi’s words.
