Benzina Of Morocco Set To Make History In Women's World Cup. by MANNABBQGRILLS: 1:24am On Jul 24, 2023 |
History could be made on day five of the Fifa Women's World Cup if Nouhaila Benzina plays for Morocco. The 25-year-old defender will become the first player to wear a hijab, the Islamic headscarf, at a World Cup if she features against one of the tournament favourites, Germany. Morocco become the first Arab team to play at a Women's World Cup, with captain Ghizlane Chebbak saying: "We feel that we have to shoulder a big responsibility to show a good image, and to show the achievements that the Moroccan football team has made in terms of progress by qualifying. "This is a great milestone for us and we hope that our match with Germany will pave the way for other matches." Team-mate Benzina, who plays her club football in Morocco, will become the first player to wear a hijab at a senior women's tournament if she plays. The hijab was authorised by Fifa in 2014. There are 70 places between the teams in the Fifa rankings, with Germany second in the world. German coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg said: "All the games are tight. Women's football teams have come ever closer. "All the countries coming here are not only proud to be at the World Cup, but they absolutely have the quality to play here and to pose problems." Germany have injury doubts over key players Marina Hegering and Lena Oberdorf. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66283263 Mukina2. Dominique. Mynd44. 2 Likes 2 Shares
