Concerns are growing about Iranian women football players being in a dangerous situation

The Iranian women's national team members participating in the Asian Cup are in serious danger as they are about to return to their homeland. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The reason for this danger was the players' protests against the situation in their country during the competition. Before the match against South Korea, the girls refused to sing the national anthem.

In the match against Australia, they expressed their protest by giving a military salute. Iranian state television strongly condemned these actions and called the players "war traitors."

They are demanding strict punishment for them. According to local legislation, if such accusations are confirmed, the female athletes could be sentenced to death, which has caused great concern in the international community.

In particular, the FIFPRO organization has expressed its concern on this matter. The Iranian national team, having lost all group stage matches, left the tournament early.

Currently, the safety and future fate of the players are the focus of the global sports community. Human rights defenders and international organizations are closely monitoring the situation.
