The serious accusations have come after Iran beat Jordan in a penalty shootout in their 2022 Women's Asian Cup qualifier back in September. Iran ended up winning the shootout 4-2, with Koudaei emerging as the hero thanks to two brilliant saves. The victory earned the Iranian women's team its first 2022 Women's Asian Cup appearance in history. However, it appears as if Jordan simply couldn't hack the defeat and the president of the Jordan Football Association, Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein, has submitted a 'request for gender verification' for Koudaei.
