Australia offers asylum to five Iranian women footballers amid anthem controversy

Australia granted asylum visas to five members of Iran’s women’s football team after they faced punishment for not singing the national anthem, saying they are welcome and safe in Australia while the rest of the squad were offered protection. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed the aid and noted other players could also seek support; the move comes as U.S. and Israel push actions against Iran, with former President Donald Trump publicly urging Australia to grant asylum.

South Korea won 3-0, but the moment drew attention as Iranian supporters and officials navigated the political backdrop; head coach Marziyeh Jafari declined to comment on politics, and Iran will next host Australia at the same venue.
