Two more members of the Iranian women's national football team have been granted asylum in Australia, Australia's Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has confirmed.

The team was in Australia for matches when the war in Iran broke out. Earlier this week, it emerged that five players had been granted asylum, and on Wednesday it became clear that two more people, a manager and a player, had been granted asylum.

The rest of the national team has left Australia.
