Supporters shone torches through airport terminal window to players
The Iranian women’s football team were whisked away on a bus at Sydney airport before dozens of supporters gathered at an airport gate could reach them.
The team – minus five players who have been formally granted protection in Australia – arrived in Sydney just after 8pm on Tuesday evening after leaving the Gold Coast. The football team exited the plane from the back and were escorted onto a bus surrounded by airport staff and Australian Federal Police.
