THE Iranian girls' soccer team has been kicked out of this year's first Youth Olympics because of a FIFA ban on playing in Islamic head scarves. Iran's National Olympic Committee had refused to let the team play at the August 14-26 Games in Singapore without the hijab and it has been replaced by Thailand, the Asian Football Confederation said. "The FIFA Executive Committee had no choice but to take the decision that Iran will not be able to participate in the inaugural Youth Olympic Football Tournament," the AFC quoted a letter from the FIFA general secretary to the Iran Football Federation as saying.
