Iranians in Australia block the road as a bus carrying members of Iran's women's football team leaves for the airport.

Five players from the team have claimed asylum in Australia, seeking protection after they were branded "traitors" at home for refusing to sing the national anthem ahead of an Asian Cup match.

It is not clear if the remaining players in the Iranian squad will fly home or when they might leave Australia.
