Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Offside is a 2006 Iranian political comedy-drama film directed by Jafar Panahi. The film is about a group of girls who try to watch a World Cup qualifying match but are forbidden by law because of their gender. Female fans are not allowed to enter football stadiums in Iran on the grounds that there will be a high risk of violence or verbal abuse against them. The film was inspired by the director's daughter, who decided to attend a game anyway. The film was shot in Iran but its screening is banned there.
