Ramin Rezaeian, a professional player for Esteghlal and the national team, has been called in by Iran's football ethics committee after he hugged a female fan prior to a domestic league game.
On Friday, December 27, the local news outlet Tasnim announced that Ramin Rezaeian had been summoned by the Football Federation of Iran's ethics committee.
The event happened in Yazd province on Thursday, December 26, prior to Esteghlal's game versus Chadormalu. The football federation has not yet responded to inquiries about the situation. Rezaeian, 34, has played club football in Belgium and Qatar and has made more than 60 appearances for Iran internationally.
Physical contact between unrelated males and women is forbidden by Islamic law, which has been in effect in Iran since the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

After the revolution, women were mostly prohibited from going to football games, but these restrictions have since somewhat relaxed. For the first time in more than 40 years, women were permitted to witness a championship match in August 2022.
Repercussions for a male football player's interactions with a female fan have happened before. Esteghlal goalie Hossein Hosseini hugged a female fan during a championship game in April, earning him a fine of almost $4,700 and a one-match suspension. "Bad behaviour towards security agents at the game" was another reason given by the federation at the time for its decision.
