Decision made for fasting footballers in France

The French Football Federation has decided not to allow breaks during matches for footballers to break their fast throughout the month of Ramadan. This decision has sparked debate among fasting footballers in France, where many Muslim players play.

According to a report by RMC Sport, the French Football Federation will not permit breaks to break the fast during matches throughout the month of Ramadan.

In an email sent to officials by the Federal Referee Commission of the French Football Federation last year, it was stated that breaks to allow players to consume liquids or eat to break their fast during matches were prohibited. This situation had caused some criticism within the football community.
