First Inbuilt Hijab Kit for Afghanistan National Women’s Football team

Danish sports Brand ‘Hummel’ has agreed a deal to manufacture the first inbuilt hijab kit for the Afghanistan National Women’s football team.  

The hijab is a fully base layer that fully covers the players and does not deprive players of their movements.

Hummel owner Christian Stadil stated: “We don’t sponsor the biggest teams in the world, but we make partnerships with teams and clubs with a story to tell, like Afghanistan.”

“We try to meet the Afghan people where they are, and right now that is by helping the women play football with or without a hijab,” he added.

The strip was released on International Women’s Day, and is the first football kit ever to include the hijab as an inbuilt feature.
