Eight of Iran's women's football team are actually men awaiting sex-change 
operations, it has been claimed. 
 

 The country's football association was accused of being "unethical" for 
knowingly fielding eight men in its women's team. Mojtabi Sharifi, an official 
close to the Iranian league, told an Iranian news website: “[Eight players] 
have been playing with Iran’s female team without completing sex-change 
operations.” 
 

 On Wednesday, authorities reportedly ordered gender testing of the entire 
national squad and leading league players. The names of the players thought to 
be male were not revealed. Can you spot them?
