Not an Aussie, but shoutout to Brisbane Roar FC for this. Extremely heartwarming for us Iranians, especially after all distress regarding the well-being of our players. Thank you, Australia in general! I can’t wait until I one day drop by the Land Down Under!
I’m going to look at buying season tickets for women’s Roar. Always been meaning to do so but never got around to it.

Not a football fan at all, but well done Roar. This is the compassion and warmth that should be extended by our community to anyone in this or similar circumstances.

How are they shying away from politics when a political statement (refusing to sing the national anthem) is what started this whole thing?
Nice sentiment, but it’s a bit half baked.

They came to play sports here but made political statement about their homeland that would put them at risk of return and now the Australian tax payer houses and feeds them indefinitely?
So every time we host sports teams from other countries, we risk this happening?
So what happens now? How are they looked after? Are they here forever or do they go home if/when regime changes? Do they get an allowance from Centrelink or do they need to find a job?
I rekon this is fucking cheeky protesting so you can abscond and get looked after and applauded for doing so and leave us to foot the bill.
