Iranian Women’s National Soccer Team Banned from Olympic Qualifying Tournament

Players of the Iranian women’s national soccer team react after withdrawing from their qualifying match against Jordan for the 2012 London Olympic Games in Amman June 3. The Iranian team were banned from the match on Friday in the second round of qualifiers in protest against guidelines on their veil. The FIFA woman’s association requires that any covering used does not cover the neck and ears. In Iran all women are required to cover their hair in public to conform to the Islamic dress code.

Blatant discrimination and Islamophobia.

This is pure bullshit. Fifa, you have lost my respect for you. They should be allowed to play, I mean… I don’t see how they’re cheating or anything, by covering up.
