Tribute To Sahar Khodayari

TRIBUTE TO SAHAR KHODAYARI             
 
Football is the king of sports
Wherever you are
Before, was played by men,
Now, is played by women too.
In the stadiums of Iran
Only men could get in.
But by the courage of Sahar,
The law was changed.
 
Football players in Iran
Are now supported
By men and women,
In every stadium seat.
For the iranian women
Sahar became a martyr.
She will always be remembered,
By the way, she claimed
The Iranian women’s rights.

Now, in Iran,
Women´s support, is part of football
They believe that,
The gates of the stadiums, 
Will never be closed again.
