History and mission

The website explains its origins in this way:It was first in the year 2000 that the idea of this weekly magazine was presented to the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance (in Iran) in order to get the publication permission. After 4 years of bureaucratic process and endless hardship the proposal for a sport magazine dedicated to womens sports was rejected.”

In addition Shirzanan writes:The first Iranian womens sports weekly magazine, Shirzanan, aims to fill the lack of the news coverage in the national media on women sports in Iran. Shirzanan is a private magazine.” Shirzanans editorial board includes journalists and reporters who have been working closely with Irans national press.

One of the most significant parts of Shirzanan is its photo report page. This is the first time that the images of Iran womens national teams - in different fields - are being published. Shirzanan also has an English version, which translates its main page from Persian to English.

Editorial Board

Shirzanans permanent editorial board members are:
*Solmaz Sharif (editor in chief)
*Marjan Namazi (world news executive)
*Shabnam Shakorian (national news reporter)
*Maryam Majd (photographer)
