Default Saudis love their ladies to attend football matches

A female spectator cheering for a Saudi football team has angered men on social media in the country.

Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal were defeated 2-1 by the UAE's Al Ain in the Asian Champions League semi-finals last week. A clip of the match has been viewed almost 400,000 times on YouTube, but it's not the scything tackle on a player from Al Hilal that angered fans commenting on it. Following the tackle, the camera picks out an angry fan of the Saudi team - a woman fully covered in a black abaya and niqab. In Saudi Arabia itself, women are banned from attending football matches, but since the game was taking place in the UAE, this spectator - together with several other women cheering for Saudi, like those pictured above - were able to join their fellow male supporters in the stadium.

Over 900 people have commented on the clip, most of them angry men, critical of the unidentified woman for being in a stadium filled with thousands of men. "Women aren't interested in football, so why go to a stadium to watch a live match?" wrote one. "Does this woman not have a man? Her place is in the house," said another. Many who oppose women being allowed into stadia say it encourages immoral and sinful behaviour. Others say it puts women at risk of being harassed.
BBC News - #BBCtrending: The female football fan causing outrage in Saudi Arabia

Some of the comments on the youtube clip
are so outrageous as to be amusing:
Edited version "Women are not the veil or cloak only .. woman Moo this place and if Tbgunha religion, a woman's voice rougher, a modern-Sharif, who defends such Halainat is ((Dyot)) and Welcome Balthger if Bihfez to our people their dignity and chastity .. I regret that I see such scenes in Muslim countries I'm sorry .. I see such scenes in the land of the Arabs, Arabism Shim Wayne Wayne Wayne Amjadehm values ​​and principles who were brought up by all the hum became a tradition of the West, even if at the expense of religion and honor sickening sight"
So arab lands are not muslim oook!

She is right, it was a bad challenge. Yellow card at least.

I went to see KSA play Argentina a couple of years ago and there were quite a few girls in the stadium who came with their fathers, so they weren't too bothered about that. But I guess the argument is that as they were prepubescent they were unlikely to be harrassed. A great game BTW with a a fantastic atmosphere.

The Saudi supporters won't be watching the game much if it happens.
