Morocco's Benzina poised to make history as first hijab-wearing player at Women's World Cup

Nouhaila Benzina will be the first player to wear a hijab in a Women's World Cup match when Morocco faces Germany.
Benzina wearing a hijab is seen as an inspiring symbol of representation and inclusiveness for Muslim women in sports.
The ban on headscarves in FIFA competitions was overturned in 2014, opening the door for Muslim players to participate while wearing hijabs.
Morocco is the first Arab nation to qualify for the Women's World Cup, highlighting increased opportunities for Muslim women in soccer.
France has recently tried to reinstate a ban on hijabs, while more Muslim women around the world are taking up soccer.
