Iranian Women's Soccer Team Refuse To Sing National Anthem In AFC Asian Cup Opener
AFC Asian Cup: The Iranian women’s national soccer team made a silent protest during the opening match of the Women’s Asian Cup, as they refused to sing their national anthem, which was played over the speakers at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast.
Ahead of the game against South Korea, the players were in their customary line before their match when the Iranian national anthem began to play, none of the Iranian players or even head coach Marziyeh Jafari sang along as they were looking straight ahead and barely moving.
The silent protest came after Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in Israeli and U.S. strikes.
