Jordan Football Association sex verification

In November 2021, she attracted global attention when the Jordan Football Association (JFA), after losing a match in the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualification to Iran, accused her of being a male.[5][6] The JFA filed a request for sex verification with the Asian Football Confederation.[5] Koudaei announced her intention to file a complaint to FIFA against Jordan to restore her reputation.[7]
