Almost a decade after FIFA removed its ban on headscarves, the 2023 Women's World Cup welcomed for the first time a hijab-wearing player. When Nouhaila Benzina stepped onto the pitch to play for Morocco at its first-ever World Cup match, she made history. FIFA banned the hijab for seven years, citing it as a health and safety risk. After years of Muslim women fighting against it, they finally lifted the ban in 2014.

EA Sports also release update adding a hijab for Morocco's Nouhaila Benzina in FIFA 23. The first player to wear a hijab at the Women's World Cup leaves a lasting legacy at the tournament, and on football's biggest gaming franchise.
