Offside (Persian: آفساید) is a 2006 Iranian 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.[1] 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.[2] The film was inspired by the director's daughter, who decided to attend a game anyway.[3] The film was shot in Iran but its screening is banned there.[2]
