Australian official touts bravery of Iranian women's soccer team as some receive asylum

At least six members of the Iranian women’s soccer team decided to stay in Australia and seek asylum instead of going back to their home country where they face war and the possibility of even worse if they decide to go back.

Five of the six members of the team were granted asylum on Tuesday. Two others were also seeking asylum, but one of them changed their minds. There were more than 20 members of the team who came to Australia to compete in the Women’s Asian Cup.
