Fatemeh Pasandideh and Atefeh Ramezanisadeh, the two players of Iran's women's football team who remain in Australia on humanitarian visas, have been pictured training with Brisbane Roar.

Initially, seven members of the Iranian delegation sought asylum in Australia, but the rest have changed their minds and flew back to Iran.

Iranian Players Train With Brisbane Roar

In a social media post, Brisbane Roar shared photos of Pasandideh and Ramezanisadeh with the rest of the team.

Photos show both players smiling, taking part in the training, and shaking hands with the members of the team.

"Today, Brisbane Roar officially welcomed both Fatemeh Pasandideh and Atefeh Ramezanisadeh to the club's training facilities to take part in training with our A-League Women squad and remain committed to providing a supportive environment for them whilst they navigate the next stages," Brisbane Roar CEO Kaz Patafta said in a statement included in the post.

The team said that they would not be making any further comment.

What Happened to the Others?

As previously mentioned, five others were initially granted humanitarian visas along with Pasandideh and Ramezanisadeh, including one staff member of the Iranian team.

However, they opted not to stay at the end, boarding a flight to Oman in order to head home.

According to Sky News, they may have been pressured to head home with threats to their loved ones.

Assistant Foreign Affairs Minister Matt Thistlethwaite likewise refused to share what caused them to change their minds.

"It's a complex situation, they were removed to a safe destination once they decided to take up our offer of protection here in Australia, but obviously they've been able to communicate with family and with others," Thistlethwaite told Sky News.

"I understand some of them did make contact with the Iranian embassy here in Australia, we can't cut off communication obviously," he noted. "We did all we could to support them, to make sure that they understood that they would be able to access settlement services here."
