The AFC had launched an investigation into a letter submitted by the Jordan Football Association, requesting to verify the gender of the goalkeeper of the Iran national team, which beat our women’s team in the Asian qualifiers play-off match.
The Jordan Football Association questioned the gender of goalkeeper Zahra Kawadi, which prompted him to request verification, and the AFC’s response came to confirm that the goalkeeper was a female, according to the official agency.
The agency said, “The Asian Federation, during the announcement of the verification results, indicated that the gender of the Iranian player is female, and addressed the Jordan Football Association with the final result about the complaint submitted.”
A direct media statement was not immediately issued by the AFC regarding the investigations.
