Morocco’s Nouhaila Benzina becomes first player to wear hijab at World Cup
FIFA stated that wearing the hijab posed health and safety concerns, over fears a player risked being choked while playing football. In the years that ensued, there have been several efforts to right FIFA’s ban on the wearing of hijab.
It was therefore considered historic when Nouhaila Benzina became the first footballer to wear a hijab at the Women’s World Cup on Sunday. The 25-year-old Moroccan defender has not commented on the issue, but, she has made several posts flaunting her hijab.
