Brazil arrive at World Cup with Iran tribute

STORY: The charter plane - a Dreamliner 787 - has made other journeys unrelated to the Brazilian football team in recent months with the tributes.

Its tail has images of Amini and Azadani, while writing on its body says 'No woman should be forced to cover her head' and 'No man should be hanged for saying this'.

Amini's arrest for not wearing a headscarf - and subsequent death in hospital after collapsing in custody - was the catalyst for mass protests in Iran in 2022.

Azadani was arrested during the protests and was given a lengthy jail term.

Brazil, who touched down in Brisbane, are in Group F alongside France, Jamaica and Panama.

FIFA and the Brazilian Football Federation - the CFB - did not immediately respond when asked to comment.
