Asian Cup Australia: Iran head coach Marziyeh Jafari expressed elation after her team overcame the odds to secure qualification for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026 on Saturday.

"I am really happy that we were able to make the hearts of the Iranian people happy. Qualifying for the AFC Asian Cup was not easy.
