The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) announced on Saturday that basketball players will be able to wear religious headgear in professional games starting from 1 October 2017.
Previously, any headgear and hair accessories were not permitted in professional basketball games.
The move means that Muslim women will now be able to complete professionally while wearing the hijab. Other religious headgear, such as the turban which is commonly worn by Sikhs, will also be allowed.
