The team took the field in headscarves and full tracksuits to satisfy Muslim values. Heat stroke appears to be allowed over shorts.
The team wore the ‘maghnaeh’, a veil that fully covers the head, shoulders and neck in addition to the track suits.
In addition, the coach Alireza Iraj stated that he is required to avoiding any touching of his players under Islamic law, which prohibits touching of members of the opposite sex unless they are married couples or immediate relatives.
