FIFA has sent a letter to the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) on 13 June 2013 to inform the CSA that:

Following communication between the CSA and FIFA, the matter related to Law 4 The Players Equipment, the use of head covers and the situation arisen within the CSA has been presented to the members of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) for discussion.

The IFAB has exceptionally agreed to extend the conditions of the current experiment previously approved by IFAB in October 2012 (as per FIFA circular no. 1322, see PDF on the right hand side), and to allow male players in Canada to wear head covers as well, as long as the following conditions are respected:

The head cover must:

be of the same colour as the jersey

be in keeping with the professional appearance of the players equipment

not be attached to the jersey

not pose any danger to the player wearing it or any other player (e.g. opening/closing mechanism around neck)

The letter sent by FIFA to the CSA on 13 June 2013 authorises the CSA to permit all players to wear head covers as described above, in all areas and on all levels of the Canadian football community.

This matter will once again be discussed by the IFAB in October 2013, before a final decision is reached at the next Annual General Meeting of the IFAB, taking place in March 2014.

I stated last week on a number of threads how many of you and also the Sikh canadian mp's had got it wrong in thinking FIFA make the rules. I stated it was IFAB that make the rules for football worldwide, not fifa. I also stated how, in a nod to the founding fathers of football, the IFAB board make-up is entirely British (English, Welsh and Scottish footballing bodies) and given the official English acknowldegment of the turban there was an absolute zero chance that IFAB would agree with Quebec's decision.

Unfortunately before the ban was lifted, the "group" which is Ron Banerjee and his handful of crazies once again managed to get in the media, this time putting their puppet "Sikh" Bikram Lamba on the air, here's the link to his interview.

Do a search of this "Doctor Bikram Lamba" and you'll see he's a bandhar dressed in a sher's clothes.
