The status of women in sports in Iran has undergone significant change since the country's revolution in 1979. Before the revolution, during the Pahlavi dynasty, women enjoyed a relatively progressive social atmosphere. Female athletes participated in various sports, attended sports clubs, and even competed internationally, often receiving support and encouragement from the government. The Pahlavi regime promoted women's rights actively, believing that their participation in sports exemplified modernization and progress.
