The Iranian women's football team captain has become the fifth member of the delegation to withdraw their bid for Australian asylum, according to Iran's state media. Zahra Ghanbari will fly from Malaysia back to Iran, news agency IRNA reported on Sunday. The latest withdrawal means that, of the seven to initially accept Australia's offer of humanitarian visas, only two now remain in the country as defectors. The players had originally sought sanctuary after concerns the team would face repercussions for staying silent during the country's anthem at their opening Asian Cup match. Human rights activists have said the women may have been pressured to reverse their decisions through threats against their families.
