If you’re not sure who female soccer player Nouhaïla Benzina is, you’ll find out soon enough if you play a lot of FIFA 23.

For the first time in gaming history, FIFA 23 has added a hijab-wearing player in the game out in the field: Nouhaïla Benzina. Benzina is a Moroccan player who is in the ongoing 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the first to play the game wearing the headscarf.

On Wednesday, EA Sports announced the addition of Nouhaila Benzina on FIFA 23 as she was previously not in the World Cup mode ??

Her impact on the big stage has already reached the biggest simulation game in the sport.

Back in the day, FIFA banned the use of head coverings for religious purposes, but that was amended in early 2014. Some trivia for you folks out there wondering about FIFA’s stance on this.

In related news, the FIFA-less EA football game, EA Sports FC 24, will add women to the Ultimate Team mode for the first time. This means you can create an ultimate team with both male and female players.
