EA Sports has scored a historic moment by bringing significant changes to the game FIFA 23. Last June, they released the 2023 Women's World Cup DLC for the game, which then brought about a historic change in the representation of female players. For the first time in the history of the FIFA franchise, female players wearing the hijab are recognized and featured in this game.

This step taken by EA Sports is significant in bringing inclusivity and reflecting the diversity of the real world into the virtual world of gaming. One player who is an important representative of this change is Nouhaila Benzina. Nouhaila Benzina, who is a member of the Moroccan national team, played a key role in becoming the first hijab-wearing female player to appear in the Women's World Cup.

The first time this moment occurred was in the 2023 Women's World Cup match, when Nouhaila Benzina made her debut as a female player wearing the hijab when Morocco beat South Korea with a score of 1-0. This is not only an impressive sporting feat, but also a positive sign of the cultural transformation that is taking place in the video game industry.

Previously, FIFA, the global football regulatory body, banned the use of the hijab in football matches for safety reasons. However, in 2012, FIFA started a two-year trial period allowing players to wear headscarves or hijabs, particularly within the Asian Football Confederation. In 2014, the ban was lifted by FIFA, allowing players to wear head coverings due to religious considerations.

It is important to note that this is not the first time that FIFA has introduced female players in FIFA games. Since 2015, female players have been integrated into the game, starting with FIFA 16. However, these recent changes represent a further step towards representing diversity, recognizing cultural diversity, and accepting multiple forms of identity in the world of video games.

The news also notes how EA Sports hasn't just brought Nouhaila Benzina into the game with such scrupulous attention to detail. Apart from paying attention to the hijab, they also pay attention to other aspects such as cuffs and leggings in the player's appearance.

Ultimately, EA Sports' move reflects a positive change in the video game industry, where inclusivity and accurate representation are increasingly recognized and prioritized. By celebrating differences and acknowledging diverse identities, games like FIFA 23 are not just an arena for entertainment, but also a reflection of an increasingly inclusive global society.
