It’s reported women will only be allowed in one section of the stadium when Juventus and Milan contest the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia.
Despite objections from human rights campaigners, the sides will face off in Jeddah on January 16.
The Middle Eastern country is known for some repressive laws aimed at women, and La Stampa reports no female fans will be allowed outside of the family section.
That section comprises around 15 per cent of the 60,000 seats, and women won’t be allowed to sit elsewhere in the stadium.
Previously women were banned from entering stadiums, but the grounds in Dammam, Jeddah, and Riyadh have sections for female fans.

I just dont understand this..im a muslim myself too,and i guess they are pretty much a bit too extreme tho. I never recall a single line of the Holy Qoran says something about discriminating women at all,in fact,Islam is all about fair and equal,the origin of the religion is beautiful indeed,but human make themselves to play God by makin their own rules and regulations by the name of Islam. For u guys that never know this,this is the same country that doesnt allow women to drive cars in their country for decades,until just recently on June 2018,then only the first female driving license was approved. What a shame...islam isnt supposed to be like this. They said they followed the teaching of the Holy Qoran,but in the end,they end up making their own rules and regulations to stricken whatever it is by the advices of these so called experts,ending up tarnishing the beautiful name of Islam. Shame.
