Ismail emphasized that she wasn't allowed to substitute for United Dragons because she was wearing tracksuit bottoms, a decision she found discriminatory and frustrating.
The Football Association confirmed that female players can wear attire that respects their religious beliefs, responding to Ismail's incident that challenged these rights.
She expressed that the requirement to wear shorts contradicts inclusivity in sports and highlights barriers against Muslim women in football, making participation challenging.
Raising her voice on social media, Ismail called out the lack of diversity in football, attributing it to stringent regulations like the ultimatum to wear shorts.
