FA apologises after Iqra Ismail told she wasnt allowed to play for refusing to compromise her religious beliefs and wear shorts - They ask me why womens football lacks diversity, why it is difficult to find women who look like me in the competitive game.

"The FA communicated to them that if players wear additional garments because of their religious beliefs, they should be allowed to play," Ms Ismail said. A later communication issued by the Greater London Women's Football League confirmed players must not wear tracksuit bottoms.
