FIFA 23 updates player model to add a hijab

The new FIFA 23 patch updates the in-game model for Morocco defender Nouhaïla Benzina with a hijab, marking the first time that the Islamic headscarf has ever been included in the football game series. It comes following Benzina’s performance during the Women’s World Cup, where the international star has been playing while wearing the hijab, including during a recent match against France. Now, her appearance has been updated in FIFA 23 itself.
