Australia says three more members of Iran’s women’s national football team, who had sought asylum there, have decided to return to Iran. Iranian footballers said they feared repercussions at home after Iranian State Media called them ‘traitors’ for remaining silent during the national anthem, before their opening match at the Asian Cup.
