A collection of news and articles on Muslim women and sports around the world. I decided to create the blog after I started doing research on the subject and recognized the lacuna of a resource of collected materials on the subject.

This is one of the few posts in MWS blog, authored by the blog owner. I have been sharing updated information on FIFA ban (recently lifted) and on Saudi Arabia both of which are related to Muslim women's right to play, in different aspects. However, by looking at the news published in mass media, I also realized that there isn't much said about compulsory hijab rule valid for Iranian players. MWS calls Iranian government for allowing their players to unveil, if they want to. The female players should not face with any charges if they play without headscarf, during London Olympics 2012.

Muslim Women in Sports blog supports Iranian female olympians' right to unveil.
