The internet has been buzzing ever since it was revealed that eight of Iran’s women’s football team members are men who are awaiting sex swap operations. The country’s football bosses have been labelled ‘unethical’ for fielding men as women.
The SUN reports that officials have now reportedly ordered the gender testing of the entire national team and the top players in their country’s competitive league.
Mojtabi Sharifi, an official close to the Iranian football league revealed that eight players have been playing with Iran’s female team without completing sex change operations. However, he failed to divulge the names of the eight players at the centre of the current controversy.
This is not the first time the team has been involved in a gender scandal. Just last year, four players were found to be men and in 2010 questions were asked about the national team’s goalkeeper.
This resulted in the Iranian sports governing body introducing mandatory gender-testing in 2014. It is not known how many of the current team were born males, according to The Sun.
Those who cannot prove their gender are barred from competing in the women’s competition, but they can be re-admitted after completing gender reassignment.
