Trailblazing footballer and coach Ismail was set to return on for United Dragons as a half-time substitute in a Better London Ladies’s Soccer League match in opposition to Tower Hamlets FC.

In a video posted on social media, Ismail mentioned: “The Greater London Women’s Football League have stopped me from playing because of my religious beliefs, because I refused to wear shorts with my playing kit.

“I’ve been taking part in on this league for nearly 5 years now, sporting tracksuit bottoms, and yearly they’ve made it an increasing number of tough for ladies like me to play.

“This year they have drawn the line and banned me from playing until I compromise my beliefs.

“The Middlesex FA referee for yesterday’s [Sunday’s] sport mentioned that the league had advised him strictly to not permit ladies like me to put on tracksuit bottoms, whatever the color or whether or not it was matching our equipment or not.”

The FA has since apologised to Ismail, who has been told that she can wear tracksuit bottoms when she next takes to the field.

Sky Sports News has contacted the Greater London Women’s Football League for comment.
