Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez welcomed Iranian chess player Sara Kahdem at the Bernabeu in December. Today, Kahdem lives in Spain and was granted Spanish nationality by Spain’s minister of justice in July. She self-exiled from Iran after the government issued a warrant for her arrest for competing in an international tournament without a hijab – joining anti-government protests last September triggered by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of Iran’s morality police. Wearing a hijab in public is mandatory in Iran.
Today’s special edition of Diarios de Bicicleta, debuting on ESPN Deportes’ La Peña de LALIGA at 2 p.m., the 26-year-old Kahdem shares her journey with ESPN’s Martin Ainstein. Topics Kahdem addressed include her decision to play a world championship without a veil, the fallout, Iran after the death of Amini, the protests that followed, and more. View the episode in English or Spanish.
Also available on demand via ESPN+, the one-hour La Peña de LALIGA with host Cristina Alexander will feature Spain-based reporters Moises Llorens and Rodrigo Faez.
