Top women's league in Finland donates sport hijabs to any player who wants one
CNN
It's a country that takes the issue of equality seriously, and now the top division of women's football in Finland -- the National League -- is to offer hijabs to any player that wants one.
When children start playing football in Finland, they are provided with kits, shorts, and socks by their teams but previously sport hijabs weren't available. "Finland is known for being a country of equal opportunities," Heidi Pihlaja, head of women's football development from the Football Association of Finland, said in a press release of the plan to make soccer uniforms "more hijabi appropriate."More Related News
