FIFA upholds the ruling that ban hijabs from being worn. It wasn't an issue of religion, or reasonable accomodations, it was simply a matter of rules. FIFA rules ban a hijab, just as they would ban a christian cross necklace, or any other jewelry, and the referee was simply following the rules. Go play soccer somewhere that doesn't follow FIFA rules if you're that deadset on wearing extraneous items.
