Police reportedly helped the players leave the national team's hotel after they played their last match in the Asian Championships.
According to Albanese, the Australian government has been preparing for a situation like this "for some time," and if more players on the team want help from Australia, they will get it.
"It's a very sensitive situation," Albanese said.
Early Tuesday local time, the Australian prime minister received a call from US President Donald Trump.
"We had a very positive conversation. He was concerned about the Iranian women on the soccer team and their well-being and safety if they were to return home," Albanese said.
The players refused to sing the national anthem during one of the matches in the championship - and were branded "war traitors" by Iranian state television.
According to Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s overthrown shah, the team risked "fatal consequences" if they returned to their homeland.
"I urge the Australian government to guarantee their safety and provide them with all support," Pahlavi wrote on X on Monday.
Reza Pahlavi has been pointed out in some circles as a possible interim leader in Iran if the regime falls. The US and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday, February 28.
