The fans were forced to leave the match in Grenoble after being approached by Fifa stewardFifa says it was wrong to remove fans from a Women's World Cup match for wearing T-shirts calling for Iranian women to be let into football stadiums. Two fans were removed during Canada's 2-0 win over New Zealand on Saturday because their T-shirts carried slogans. The Open Stadiums movement has been campaigning for women to be allowed access to men's sporting events in Iran after a 40-year ban. "The main message [on the T-shirts] was about allowing women access to stadiums and to have it censored like this seemed ridiculous," he told BBC Sport. "Fifa will do its best to ensure that any similar situations do not occur at future matches during the competition."
