Premier League to Implement Breaks During Ramadan Matches

The English Premier League will pause matches to allow Muslim players to break their fast during Ramadan, as reported by British media. Before each match, officials will check if any players are fasting, and if so, the game will be briefly stopped at iftar time. This practice began in April 2021 during a match between Leicester City and Crystal Palace, allowing players to consume liquids and energy gels. Ramadan emphasizes personal growth, self-discipline, and refraining from negative behaviors.
