The Iranian women's national football team has returned to their country after a controversial performance at the Asian Cup held in Australia. A series of tense events, which began in early March and took place both on the field and in the political arena, culminated in the athletes crossing the Turkish border and entering Iran.
İdman.Biz reports that it all started with the team's protest by not singing the national anthem in the first match against South Korea. This move was sharply criticized by the Iranian state media, and the players were called "traitors of war." In subsequent matches, the players both sang the anthem and gave a military salute.
Iranian officials have stated that the returning players have returned to the "warm embrace of the homeland" and will not face any danger.
It should be noted that these events coincided with a period when the US and Israel were striking Iran and the situation inside the country was tense.
