Ashura: Fans asked to mourn during Iran v South Korea World Cup qualifier

Share
Black flags will be raised in the Azadi Stadium and some terraces will be set aside for bussed-in crowds of mourners, the BBC reported.
The match is being held on the first of two mourning days on the first month of Islamic calendar - Muharram.
South Korea will also wear black armbands as a sign of respect for the hosts.
Muslims mourn the start of a battle that ended on Ashura (Muharram 10th, 61AH), when Imam Hussain - one of most important figures in Islam - was martyred in the battle of Karbala, in today's southern Iraq.
Seventy two of his followers and members of his family were also martyred in the Battle of Karabala.
