I Can Observe Ramadan And Still Play Football - Fredrick Kanoute by javalove(m): 12:25pm On Aug 25, 2009 |
To be tremendously fit is a must for all professional footballers: a demand that leads some Muslim players to forgo the duty of fasting during Ramadan, preferring to fulfil their obligation when the football season ends. However, for Sevilla’s Freddie Kanoute, this is not the case. http://www.goal.com/en/news/596/exclusive/2009/08/24/1456626/exclusive-i-can-keep-fasting-in-ramadan-even-when-i-am |

It's god to hear he has the strenght to do both, But he should not be used to compare with the others who are feeble or not as strong as he is. I pray the answer the prayers of the tunisian teams. |

Muntari is having similar issue at Inter http://www.modernghana.com/sports/234475/2/muntari-replaced-because-of-ramadan.html I think Muntari believes he can fast and play. Others in this category are Anelka, M. Sissoko, M. Diarra and a few others. Kolo Toure, Samir Nasri admit not to fasting during matches. |

I have been fasting for over a decade and i play semi-pro footy Midweek matches are fine coz they are at night but saturday games are pretty tough, if one is used to it, it shouldnt be a problem! It is not easy but one can do it easily My only problem is to hold my anger in order not to swear if i get rashly tackled or when the referee get's a decision wrong |

@ topic, if you have the strength to paticipate in any sporting activities and fast at this same time, then go ahead, but abstain from the use of obscene/foul language as this could vitiate the fast. |
