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.^[236]

On December 16, 2024, the Iranian El Clásico^[237] 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.^{[238][239][240]} FIFA President Gianni Infantino then expressed his gratitude for the high number of female spectators at a top match in the Iranian professional league.^[241] The return match on April 18, 2025 was also played exclusively in front of female spectators.^[242]

The match on matchday 17 between Nassaji and Aluminium Arak also took place in front of an exclusively female audience of 10,000.^[243] The match between Persepolis and Esteghlal Khuzestan on matchday 25 was also attended by only 10,000 female spectators.^[244][245]

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.^{[246][247][248]} The large number of people around the game also attracted international attention.^[249][250] Previously, 90,000 fans were present at the match against Persepolis on the second matchday.^[251] On matchday 27, the stadium was once again overcrowded. 80,000 fans watched the match between Tractor and Malavan.^[252][253]
