Iran's national women's futsal team, which won the 2023 Central Asian Countries Championship (CAFA) in Uzbekistan, refused to sing the national anthem during the closing ceremony in apparent solidarity with the protest movement in Iran.
Footage spread on social media shows it.
According to other reports appearing on social media, many Iranian athletes refused to sing the anthem in domestic, regional or international matches in support of the protests, resulting in dismissals from the team or interventions by the security forces.
