"They are young girls and young footballers. We will treat the game like any other game and show the team the utmost respect and prepare properly," said Chelsea player Kerr after Sunday's opening victory against the Philippines.

Iran lost their opening match on Monday, 0–3 to South Korea.

At a press conference on Sunday, neither national team captain Marziyeh Jafar nor Zahra Ghanbari wanted to comment on the situation back home in Iran or the fact that the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had been killed in the attacks by the US and Israel.

Iran–Australia will be played on Thursday on the Gold Coast.

Corrected version: In a previous version, the wrong venue was specified for Thursday's match.
