BY EMAIL April 11, 2013 Presidents and Executive Directors Provincial/Territorial Soccer Associations Dear Presidents and Executive Directors, In follow up to our correspondence of 11 September 2012, please be advised of the following: As previously disseminated by the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) on 11 September, 2012, the International Football Board (IFAB) agreed to unanimously approve temporarily during a trial period the wearing of headscarves. This ruling came into immediate effect. The CSA Board of Directors, at its meeting on 23 March 2013, confirmed that, in light of this IFAB decision, referees may, until further notice, extend this ruling to the wearing of turbans/patkas/keski. The head covering must be safe and must not pose a danger to the wearer or other participants, as per Law 4 of the FIFA Laws of the Game. All items of clothing or equipment are subject to the inspection of the match referee. We thank you for assisting the CSA in fulfilling its mandate that soccer be accessible to everyone. Sincerely,

Peter Montopoli General Secretary
