Iran's footballers have been warned they could face punishment if they take selfies with female fans who have turned out in droves to see their idols play at the Asian Cup.

Women are banned from attending men's sports events in the Islamic republic but they have flocked to see Iran's games hosted by Australia where no such rule applies.
