Saudi women allowed into stadiums early next year

Another small win for Saudi women: Nearly a monthafter the kingdom said it would grant (one day) women the right to drive, the Saudi crown has decided to lift a ban that had prohibited women from entering stadiums and attending public sporting events,Al Arabiya reports. Three stadiums — one each in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam — will open to women in early 2018.
