This comes ahead of next month’s Mid-Term Congress, when FIBA will receive a proposal from its Technical Commission that would allow headgear to be worn safely by athletes as basketball’s world governing body favors a modification of its current headgear rule.
“This is a historical moment for women’s sport in Iran. I would like to thank the federation and the Iranian authorities for making this unprecedented event take place,” Baumann said.
Head of Iran Basketball Federation Mahmoud Mashhoun also thanked FIBA for supporting them to give the chance the Iranian women playing with hijab.
“I would like to thank FIBA for this opportunity and for supporting us for all these years. It is an historical day not just for Iran but for the whole Muslim world. We are hopeful that FIBA will come up with a positive decision regarding the matter of headgear,” Mashhoun said.

Northern IRAN- TURKMENISTAN-Torkaman Sharah
The majority of the TURKMEN tribe of IRAN lives in the north and northeast sections of IRAN. Marco Polo said in the 13th century, “Here they make the most exquisite and beautiful rugs in the world.” The TURKMEN tribe has hand loomed rugs for many centuries.
Rug weaving is one of the oldest arts in TURKMENISTAN and the surrounding region. Archeological data places carpet making in the territory of TURKMENISTAN as early as the 6th century BCE.
The remains of a carpet found by archeologists in the 1940’s at Altai is two-thousand five hundred years old. It took centuries for these designs to develop, and the decoration of the carpets is extremely original, reflecting stylized articles from the world of nomadic livestock-breeders.
Ornaments are geometric, and a love of deep, rich red is an artistic tradition of the carpets.The art of carpet weaving passed from generation to generation, and today one can single out several types of Turkmen carpets, each having distinctive ornamentation.
TURKMEN are not only famous for their beautiful rugs, but also for their famous Akhal-teke horses. These horses originate from the Turkmen SAHARA (Desert) in northeastern IRAN and have been used as cavalry mounts and racehorses for thousands of years.
