VOICED: FIFA headscarf ban leaves Muslim players on the sidelines

The video discusses the challenges faced by female Muslim footballers due to FIFA's ban on hijabs in international competitions. FIFA justifies the ban citing safety and neutrality, but critics argue that specially designed headscarfs are safe and that the hijab is a cultural symbol. The Asian Football Confederation is advocating for the ban's removal. Local efforts in Sydney, such as those by the LA Cambarus team, aim to encourage women's participation in football despite cultural and international barriers.
