from Not by the Playbook · host BBC World Service

A ban on women spectators at volleyball games in Iran was supposed to be lifted for this week's men's international beach volleyball event on Kish Island. But "mis-understandings" meant some women were denied entry. Fernando Lima, secretary general of the sport's governing body, has been telling Sportshour why the event took place.(Image: General view shows a volleyball match between Iran and Norway during Beach Volleyball World Tour on the Iranian Kish Island.
