The BBC has apologized after a Reporter asked the Moroccan Women's World Cup captain about the presence of gay players on the team, despite homosexuality being illegal in Morocco. The question was quickly shut down by a FIFA moderator, and the BBC stated that they had no intention to cause harm or distress. The reporter faced criticism for potentially endangering the players and for asking an inappropriate question. The article also mentions Nouhaila Benzina, who is set to be the first player to wear the Islamic headscarf at a Women's World Cup.
