Fatemeh Pasandideh and Atefeh Ramezanisadeh competed with their teammates in the Asian Cup in March. Seven team members were granted humanitarian visas, but five withdrew their claims and returned to Iran. Pasandideh and Ramezanisadeh, the only ones who remained, were sworn in as citizens by Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke at a ceremony in Brisbane on Thursday. "Australia has given me the opportunity to build my life and my future, and I feel, more than ever, that I belong here," Ms Ramezanisadeh said in a statement. "We want to thank the community in Brisbane and across Australia for the support and friendship that has meant so much to us."
