Australia must do all we can to protect these Iranian women. I'm glad they are now safe but I fear for the others who may have wanted to seek asylum but were unable to.
Australia must also do all we can to protect Iranian women and girls in Iran.

Getting recent Africa Cup of Nations Final vibes from this one!
Lara Lee is conducting peace negotiations with North Korea.

You're welcome. Cheers.
China and North Korea are clearly VERY keen to avoid playing Australia.
A brutal tackle very early on dismissed with only a yellow card after an onfield video review.
It was a clear red but I'm glad it's still 11 v 11.
Fight on!

My knee hurt watching that. Brutal.
I'd like to assume it was the AFC and not the local organising body that set those exorbitant prices.
If you told the 2010 version of me that an AFC Women's Asian Cup Group Stage match would cost $130 only 16 years later, I'd assume it was due to some South American style hyperinflation!
We need to share our toys... 😉
Plus the third matchday of the group must have both games played at the same time.
Currently consulting Wikipedia to work out the Inter-Confederation Playoffs to qualify for the 2027 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics...
Congrats @1ishy.bsky.social !!
At least the Matildas didn't crash their bus on the way to the stadium.

... but should only miss the one match.
If the Matildas lose on Sunday, their Quarter Final is on Friday. Win on Sunday, their Quarter Final is on Saturday.
Raso is out for 7 days...
FIFPRO ASIA / OCEANIA STATEMENT FIFPRO Asia/Oceania calls on the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and FIFA to undertake all necessary steps to ensure the safety of Iran's Women's National Team players. Since the team arrived in Australia, the security situation in Iran has deteriorated sharply following the commencement of US and Israeli strikes on 28 February 2026 and Iran's subsequent retaliation. Media are reporting that more than 1,000 civilians have been killed. In addition to the dangerous situation the players would face if they return to Iran following the tournament, FIFPRO Asia/0ceania is deeply concerned by reports that Iranian state television has publicly attacked the members of the team for remaining silent during the national anthem before their opening match. Footage circulating online shows Mohammad Reza Shahbazi, a state TV presenter, branding the players "wartime traitors" and calling for them to face the "stigma of dishonour and betrayal" These statements significantly heighten concerns for the players' safety should they return to Iran after the tournament. FIFPRO Asia/Oceania has once again written to the AFC and FIFA calling on them to uphold their human rights obligations under the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and FIFA's Human Rights Policy and protect the players. We call on the AFC and FIFA to urgently engage with the Iranian Football Association, the Australian Government and all other relevant authorities to ensure that every effort is made to protect the safety of the players.
The professional players organisation (FIFPRO) for Asia/Oceania put out this statement regarding the Iranian Women's Football team at the AFC Women's Asian Cup.
I think they & their families should be offered asylum in Australia.
Australia played Iran last Thursday.

Indiah-Paige Riley (Crystal Palace) scored at 71'.
Moore finds Riley on the right, who plays a neat one-two with Blake to get the ball back at the edge of the box. Riley hit a beautiful left-footed shot into the top left corner.
