In March 2012, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) decided that Muslim women footballers should wear from now on special headscarves during a football match. A corresponding vote was taken at that time in London. With this vote, the IFAB revised the ban on headscarf by 2007. A final decision will be taken but only at the special meeting of the IFAB on July 2 in Kiev, the World Football Association FIFA said. Yesterday, there was the decision now: Michel d ' Hooghe, Chairman of the Medical Commission of FIFA and UEFA, withdrew his vote against the headscarf. "I no longer have the problems I had so far with the headscarf.
