A football match in Jordan was stopped mid-game when the hijab slipped of the head of one of the players. Instead of playing on, the opposing team (who were not wearing hijabs) stopped to surround their opponent so she could fix her hijab before playing on, They made a protective huddle around her for 30 seconds.
A video of the incident has been shared online over 4 million times and people across the world are praising the team for their humanity.
Until 2014 women Fifa did not allow player to wear hijabs but the ban was overturned and the first hijab was worn in a Fifa match in October 2016.
What do you see in the picture?
where is it?
What is happening?
Explain the story
- what is a hijab? (a hijab is a head covering that some Muslim women choose to wear in public)
- why is the football player wearing a hijab during the match (because the match is in public and she chooses to)
- when the hijab slipped off how do you think the football player felt?
- why didn't the opposing team take advantage and tackle her while she fixed her hijab?
- why huddle around her?
- we can see in the picture that the opposing team are not wearing hijabs, so why worry about protecting someone who is?
- how do you think the player felt when the opposing team huddled around her?
- Fifa used to ban the hijab on the field; why do you think they changed their mind?
- what does this show about ideas and traditions? (they can change)
- why has this story gone viral? What does this show about how people around the world feel about diversity and difference?
- Why is this story about No Outsiders?
