Iran women's football team cross Turkish border to head home: AFP

The Iranian women's national football team crossed the Turkish border into Iran on Wednesday, among them several players who withdrew an asylum bid in Australia. Seven members of the delegation had sought sanctuary in Australia last week after being branded "traitors" in Iran for refusing to sing the national anthem before their opening game at the Women's Asian Cup. But five later changed their minds, including captain Zahra Ghanbari. The team arrived in Istanbul on Tuesday evening from Oman, then flew to the eastern city of Igdir before travelling home overland.
