Nouhaila Benzina is set to make history as the first woman to wear a hijab at the upcoming Women's FIFA World Cup; out of the 736 players, Benzina will stand alone as the sole wearer of a hijab, yet her impact off the pitch will resonate with millions around the globe.
Representing Morocco, Benzina will not only demonstrate inspirational leadership among her fellow athletes but also confront the challenges that hijabi players have faced in the past.
