Fifth member of Iranian women’s soccer team withdraws Australia asylum offer
SYDNEY: A fifth member of the Iranian women’s soccer team who had sought asylum in Australia has changed her mind and decided to return home to Iran, Australian media reported on Monday. Australia had granted humanitarian visas to six players and one support staff member last week from the Iranian squad after they sought asylum over fears of possible persecution upon returning home. The concerns came after they failed to sing the national anthem at a Women’s Asian Cup match. Three members of the delegation on Sunday decided to abandon the asylum offer.
