Iran girls' soccer team may miss Singapore event
NASSER KARIMI / AP08-Jul-2010 (one comment)
Iran might not send its girls' soccer team to the Youth Olympics in Singapore next month because of a dispute over the players' Islamic attire, Iranian media reported Thursday.
The deputy head of Iran's physical education department, Marzieh Akbarabadi, was quoted by newspapers, including Khabar Varzeshi, or Sport News, as saying the newly designed dress was "inappropriate."
She said the outfit isn't what was agreed on and Iran doesn't "need to send its team to Singapore at any cost."
