We are committed to ensuring that all participants in football are able to play the game in a way that is inclusive and respectful of their beliefs. We will continue to work with all parties involved to find a solution that allows Iqra Ismail to play the game she loves while also honoring her religious beliefs.
It is important that women’s football remains open and welcoming to players from all backgrounds, and we will do everything we can to support Iqra and others in similar situations.
We hope that this issue can be resolved quickly and that Iqra Ismail can return to playing football as soon as possible.
