World Cup has 3 women set to referee matches in Qatar

Will they be required to cover their hair and wear a hijab?

Whistle-blowers Yoshimi Yamashita, Stephanie Frappart, and Salima Mukansanga have the potential to set high standards of refereeing at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. All the best to the referees, the line judges, the VAR crew, and the rest of the match-officials in their duties to the Beautiful Game.

Will they be required to cover their hair and wear a hijab? That's a stupid question. From the beginning, the woman who wears a hijab will choose the sport that suits her.

You obviously don’t understand sarcasm and it’s also a legitimate question. “From the beginning, the woman who wears a hijab will choose the sport that suits her.” That is such an odd sounding statement so don’t talk about stupid questions if you can’t even understand a simple question. Choose to wear a hijab? I’m not even talking about choosing. I’m talking about force as in will these non Muslim female referees be forced to wear a hijab? Some Muslim women do choose to wear a hijab but in the Middle East it doesn’t really matter because women are not given a choice at all. Just look at what’s going on in Iran.
