Two Iran fans protesting against the conditions faced by women across the country were accosted by Qatari security, who then appeared to confiscate a flag with “woman, life, freedom” written on it.
The incident occurred before the Group B clash with Wales, though later images showed the woman, with make-up depicting bloody tears rolling down her face, still holding a white football shirt with Mahsa Amini on the back and the man alongside her wearing a black top with the same “woman, life freedom” message.
