Although Iranian Women have been banned from watching men's teams play, foreign Women have been allowed limited access to stadiums in order to watch these matches.
While the sporting ban is not written into law, Human Rights Watch says.
The ban was temporarily lifted last year to allow Women to watch The World Cup being streamed at a stadium in Tehran.
Last November, there were hopes of more long-term change when a group of Women were allowed to enter the second leg of the Asian Champions League final in Tehran. Mr Infantino was also at that match.
However, Women have been denied access to matches since.
