ASIAN soccer's acting president Zhang Jilong has urged the sport's rule-makers to change the laws to permit women to wear a headscarf in official matches.
"Many women footballers in Asia wear headscarves," China's Zhang said on the AFC's website yesterday.
"I would like to request the IFAB to favorably consider FIFA's proposal and review the rule and allow women players to play wearing a safe headscarf that covers the neck.
"I think it is in the interests of women's football worldwide. I have personally seen the new designs with a Velcro joined at the neck, which releases if the headscarf is pulled, ensuring the player's safety," he added.
