An Iranian goalkeeper has been fined three billion rials (around £57,000) for embraced a female fan who stormed the pitch.
Hossein Hosseini, goalkeeper for Esteghlal FC, was ordered to pay the fine after briefly embracing the woman, who was not wearing a hijab, IranWire reports.
The Football Federation of Iran said his actions were “unprofessional and beyond the legal duties of a player” and also imposed a one-match suspension.
In an interview, Mr Hosseini said: “I will pay the fine for the sake of that woman fan.”
Reports suggest he may face further disciplinary action for making that comment.
