Report: Iranian football players paid to wear green protest bands

An official Iranian newspaper reported that the national football team's players were paid to wear green wristbands during a World Cup qualifier with South Korea on Wednesday in a show of support for the reformist camp led by Mir Hossein Mousavi.

 

According to the report, the players were paid by one of the members of the reformist party. The players returned to Iran Friday night after failing to qualify to play in the World Cup that will take place in South Africa next year. (Dudi Cohen)
