Additional information

Due to renovations at Azadi Stadium, Tehran's rivals Esteghlal and Persepolis had to play their home matches at other stadiums for several months. This led to a significant decline in their attendance.^[247]

On December 16, 2024, the Iranian El Clásico^[248] between Sepahan and Persepolis was played at the Naghsh-e Jahan Stadium without the presence of male fans. Instead, only female fans were allowed to attend the match. A total of 45,000 women attended the match and saw Sepahan win 2–1 at home.^{[249][250][251]} FIFA President Gianni Infantino then expressed his gratitude for the high number of female spectators at a top match in the Iranian professional league.^[252] The return match on April 18, 2025 was also played exclusively in front of female spectators.^[253]

The match on matchday 17 between Nassaji and Aluminium Arak also took place in front of an exclusively female audience of 10,000.^[254] 10,000 exclusively female spectators also attended the match between Persepolis and Esteghlal Khuzestan on matchday 25.^[255][256] For the match between Chadormalou and Foolad on matchday 28, only women were allowed to purchase tickets, with the host offering discounted tickets.^[257] Also, on the same match day, Nassaji played only in front of a female audience again.^[258][259]

The match between Tractor and Esteghlal on matchday 25 was officially attended by 90,000 spectators in the overcrowded Yadegar-e Emam (Sahand) Stadium. Several thousand more fans gathered around the stadium to watch the game. Including the 90,000 spectators inside the stadium, a total of approximately 100,000 to 120,000 people were on or near the stadium area.^{[240][260][261]} The large number of people around the game also attracted international attention.^[262][263] Previously, 90,000 fans were present at the match against Persepolis on the second matchday.^[2] On matchday 27, the stadium was once again overcrowded. 80,000 fans watched the match between Tractor and Malavan.^[225][226]

Foolad also experienced significant overcrowding in one match. On Matchday 18, around 40,000 fans attended the home game against Persepolis in the 30,655-seat Shohadaye Foolad Khuzestan stadium.^[84][264]
