In the years following the revolution, women faced numerous challenges in maintaining their participation in sports. Many sports facilities became male-only, and female athletes often found themselves banned from participation or relegated to less visible roles.

Grassroots movements emerged, showcasing a resilient spirit among female athletes who were determined to reclaim their place on the playing field.
