Stadium: The woman was spotted by security staff in the away section of the new al-Jawhara stadium in Jiddah, where she watched Friday night's game between home side al-Ittihad and Riyadh's al-Shabab

The female spectator covered her hair in a hat and wore a black and white football scarf as she sat in the away section of the new al-Jawhara stadium in the Red Sea city of Jiddah. However, she was reportedly spotted by security guards at Friday night's game between home side al-Ittihad and Riyadh's al-Shabab and arrested for 'impersonating' a man. Saudi Arabia enforces a strict segregation of the sexes, and football stadiums are out of bounds to women.
