That’s why football is beautiful. Today I would like to thank the league authorities, all the footballers at Leicester City and Crystal Palace. To give me a chance to break my fast in the middle of the game. Fofanao, a 20-year-old French defender whose religion is Islam, wrote the words on his Twitter account.
In the same match, Leicester City and Crystal Palace players had planned to give Iffanao and Chiku Kawate, the Muslim footballer of both teams a chance to break their fast. According to that plan, the players of both teams stopped the game in 30.15 seconds of the match and stood on the field. Because then it was time for Iftar of their two teammates.
Two footballers of the two teams, Fofanao and Chiku Kawate, drank energy jail and broke their fast. And with this, a new precedent was set in the English Premier League. This is the first time in the English Premier League that a break has been given for Iftar.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Saadi have been in the news for a long time. Salah and Sadio Mane played in the final of the 2017 Champions League while doing fast.
Prior to the match on April 26, the captains of the two teams had decided that the break would be taken for the Iftar of Fofanao and Chiku Kawat only when the ball went out of the field after sunset. They have set a unique example by implementing their plan.
