Nevertheless, athletes from other countries were allowed to wear the hijab, as the International Olympic Committee left the decision to individual sports federations.
In June 2023, the Conseil d’Etat affirmed a law banning the hijab in football after a pressure group called Les Hijabeuses and the Human Rights League filed for it to be overturned.
