Turban ban
On June 10, 2013, the Canadian Soccer Association suspended the Quebec Soccer Federation over its refusal to let turban-wearing children play.[1] Quebec's premier Pauline Marois announced her support of the Quebec Soccer Federation's ban and suggested that the CSA has no authority over provincial organizations.[2]
In 2014, the QSF removed the ban after a ruling from FIFA that turbans are allowed for male players.[3]
