One of the Iranian soccer squad members granted asylum in Australia has changed his mind about seeking refuge, leading to the remaining six to be relocated to another location. The player had been granted a humanitarian visa, along with a support worker, bringing the number of Iranian women's team seeking refuge in Australia to seven. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke stated that the women were not pressured into accepting the visas, but given a choice. The remaining six had to be moved to a safer location as the player gave away their location when contacting the Iranian embassy. The Iranian team had left Australia for the Women's Asian Cup but faced the prospect of returning to Iran under bombardment. The Australian government has been praised for allowing the women to stay and be protected.
