The Film

Logline

As women’s presence in stadiums is prohibited in Iran, Zahra, a 27-year-old woman, and a football fan disguises herself as a man to be able to watch a match. Thanks to social media, this simple initiative has become viral and a new chapter has begun in her life.

Story

Zahra, a 27-year-old Iranian girl lives in Tehran and she is a big fan of Persepolis, one of the capital’s biggest football teams. She has always wished to watch her favorite team as well as the Iranian national team’s games at the stadium. However, according to an unwritten law, women are not allowed to go to stadiums and watch football games.
For this reason, Zahra decides to disguise herself as a man to be able to enter the stadium without foreseeing that her action would go viral across social media as well as be covered by the popular press and start a new chapter in her life.

DIRECTORS’

STATEMENT

“The Football Aficionado” is the story of today’s generation of women who without any pretension tries to claim equal rights between men and women. As directors of this movie, who are both supporters of gender equality and football lover, we have great admiration for the courage and resistance of Zahra; the character of our film; and her generation.

We strongly believe that by presenting the struggles of a young Iranian woman of the new generation, the story becomes a significant page of the history of the Iranian women’s movement which has ultimately led to the actual feminine uprising in Iran. In our eyes, under such circumstances, it is our duty as independent filmmakers to be the voice of brave Iranian women and not let their efforts be unheard.

We believe that the film would have a powerful impact and as FIFA World Cup is going to be held in November, the film can attract many audiences and spread the word efficiently.
