Umme Kalsoom was spurred to make a change after she was expected to take off her hijab during PE.
A 16-year-old girl who led a campaign for Muslim girls to be allowed to wear sport hijabs during PE lessons says she hopes it will have a nationwide impact.
According to traditional Islamic rulings, Muslim women are required to cover their head with a garment,by many organisations."Taking it off to do something I love didn't enable me to feel my full self and I lacked confidence without it."Morocco's Nouhaila Benzina is believed to be the first footballer to wear the hijab at the Women's World Cup
She says she was struck by the attention her campaign achieved, adding: "I didn't know it would go this far."
