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.

Although she was benched for Morocco’s Group H match against Germany, supporters are hoping her impact will still be felt around the world.⁠

The co-founder of the Muslim Women in Sports Network, Assmaah Helal, said: "Girls will look at Benzina (and think), 'That could be me.'"⁠

“Also the policymakers, the decision-makers, the administrators will say, "We need to do more in our country to create these accepting and open and inclusive spaces for women and girls to participate in the game.'"⁠
