The majority of Iran’s players have sung the Islamic republic's national anthem ahead of this morning’s game against Wales.
Carlos Queiroz’s entire team remained silent during the playing of the anthem before Monday's defeat to England, leading to concerns around their safety as protests continue to rage across their homeland.
Supporters, several unable to fight back the tears, could again be seen waving flags with “women, life, freedom” written on them at Al Rayyan stadium this morning and there were loud boos as more than half of the starting XI could be seen singing - though not quite with the same vigor as their Welsh counterparts.
