Players union rep speaks out as six Iranian soccer players accept Australian asylum

President of FIFPRO Asia/Oceania, Beau Busch, weighs in after members of Iran’s women’s national soccer team were labeled wartime traitors for not singing the country’s anthem during a match in Australia. Several players sought asylum rather than return home, while others went back to Iran. Busch says that the women are experiencing an “incredibly difficult time” as concern grows for the safety of the players who returned to Iran.
