Nouhaila Benzina made history on Monday when she stepped onto the Women’s World Cup pitch to warm up with her soccer team — while wearing a hijab.
The Moroccan squad ended up facing a pretty brutal defeat at the hands of the two-time World Cup champions Germany, losing 6-0, when playing in Melbourne, Australia.
But the team had a victory in another sense because their player Benzina is the first player to ever wear the Muslim head covering at such a senior level of soccer.
