TO GO WITH AFP STORY "Fbl-AUS-Asia-FIFA-religion-Islam-women,FEATURE" by Amy Coopes Australian-Egyptian soccer player Assmaah Helal wears a Muslim head cover, or hijab, during a training session in Sydney on February 23, 2012. Elite footballer Assmaah Helal is a fanatic for the world game, but a controversial FIFA ban on Muslim women playing in the hijab means she may never realise her dream of wearing the Australian jersey. Assmah says the hijab is part of a Muslim woman's identity and thus it wouldn't necessarily be considered a religious symbol which is currently against FIFA's guidelines.
