Ramadan: The Football Association publishes a guide for players, leagues & clubs

The Football Association has published a guide for players, leagues and clubs in England to mark Ramadan (the Muslim month of fasting), which began on 28/02 and will last until 30/03/2025 in most countries around the world, announced The FA on 03/03/2025.

The guide "aims to answer many of the questions that players, coaches and administrators may have around Ramadan and how it might affect football at any level."

"The guide includes information on how fasting and other lifestyle changes during this period may impact participants across adult and youth football, with advice on exercise and nutrition for practising Muslims, as well as guidance for non-Muslim players and staff to ensure their footballing environment is as inclusive and welcoming as possible," explained The FA. This guide, drawn up in collaboration with Nujum Sports, an association dedicated to the inclusion of Muslim sportsmen and women, was last published in 2023.
