TheIran women's national football team, nicknamed theLionesses, representsIran in internationalwomen's football around the world, and is controlled by theFootball Federation Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI). The Iran women's team played its first international match in May 1971 againstItaly and first FIFA international in September 2005 againstSyria.
In 1969, a group of Iranian women attended FIFA coaching classes for women's football in South Korea, Singapore and India. During their time in those countries they also watched women's football matches. Upon their return home,Iran Football Federation after many meetings decided to kick start women's football in Iran. Soon after, clubs such asTaj,Persepolis, Deyhim,Oghab, andPAS formed women's football teams and a women's football league was established in Tehran. Persepolis women football team was coached byAlan Rogers whose assistant wasAli Parvin.[3]
On 7 May 1971, visitors to Tehran,Italy took to the field and won against Iranian club sideTaj S.C[4] 2-0. The goals were scored by Medri and Bertolo. The Italians also missed a penalty kick by Nonni. It was the first time an Iranian women's team faced a foreign opponent. Two days later there was the second match which was between Iran women's national football team and Italy, with the Azzurre scoring five goals. Nonni,Gerwien, who scored a brace, Pesenti and Gualdi scored.[5]
Both matches were organized byPari Abasalti editor-in-chief ofEttelaat-e Banuvan magazine who was also the president of Iran's Damsels and Ladies Association. The venue wasAmjadieh stadium in Tehran. Iran women's national team composed of players selected from Taj, Persepolis, Deyhim, Oghab and PAS. Some of the players who played were Hengameh Afshar, Goli Rahani and Effat Mohammadi. The team's head coach wasAziz Asli.[6]
Women's football was abandoned as ofIranian Revolution in 1979.
Refounded in 2004,[7] the team reached second place at the2005West Asian Football FederationWomen's Championship inAmman,Jordan held in September and October 2005.
In May 2006, the women's team hosted their first foreign visitors when a club from Berlin, Germany called BSV Al-Dersimspor played out a 2–2 draw inArarat Stadium,Tehran.
The team won second place again at the2007 and2011 West Asian Football Federation Women's Championship.[8]
Iran were briefly banned by FIFA from international competition in 2011 for wearinghijabs. This caused Iran to forfeit its bid to qualify for the2012 Summer Olympics.[9][10] The ban was lifted in 2012.[11]
In 2015 there were reports that eight players on the team were males awaiting sex change operations.[12][13]
On 27 December 2019,Zahra Khajavi broke theclean sheet record of Iranian football by not conceding any goal for 953 minutes.[14][15][16] Also, she, along withAlireza Biranvand, are known as the record holders of the longest hand throws in Iranian football.[17] As one of the best goalkeepers in the history of Iranian football, Khajavi was able to once again draw the attention of the domestic media to the Iranian women's national football team. Her achievements played a key role in the progress of the women's national football team in these years.[17]
In the 2020s, women's football became more popular among young Iranians, both boys and girls.[18]
Iran qualified for their first everAFC Women's Asian Cup when they won against Jordan on penalties in thequalifiers for the2022 edition to be hosted in India.[19] In Iran's historic debut, Iran impressed by holding India goalless, but following India's withdrawal due toCOVID-19 pandemic, Iran's only point was lost, and thus Iran was left vulnerable to China and Chinese Taipei, losing 0–7 and 0–5 in process and was eliminated as the worst third-placed team.
In 2023, a report onBBC Persian reported the lack of facilities and friendly matches for the team. This report mentioned the "unwillingness" of the Iranian Football Federation to have a women's team.[20] In the2024 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament,Maryam Azmoun's team had one draw and two defeats (in second round of the tournament), although their slight loss against powerfulAustralia was predictable for the fans.[21][22][23]
The Iran women's national football team have been known or nicknamed as the "Iranian Lionesses" (inPersian:Shirzanan).[24] The Iran women's national football team is widely nicknamed the Persian stars since 2010. "Parsi women" orPersian ladies are another nicknames of the team in Asian football.[24]
In the decades after1979, the media coverage of women's football in Iran had problems, but the matches of the women's national team are usually followed by Iranian men and women in the national and foreign media.[18]
Persian-language documentaries and sports programs are made about the team's winning potential and history.[18]

In September 2019 it was reported that Iranian female football starSahar Khodayari, dubbed the "blue girl", died after self-immolating in front of a court in Tehran when she found out she could face a two year sentence for attempting to enter a football stadium to watch her team play.[27]
