During a recent Premier League match between Brentford and Aston Villa, the significance of Ramadan was highlighted as several players fasted in observance. Ramadan, a month of fasting observed by Muslims, emphasizes self-discipline and empathy for the less fortunate. Notable players such as Chelsea's Wesley Fofana, Brentford's Yoane Wissa, and Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure openly shared their experiences of fasting during the season. Doucoure, in particular, expressed gratitude for being able to practice Ramadan without physical drawbacks, underscoring the importance of faith in his life alongside his football career.
"I always love Ramadan. Sometimes playing football has been hard because Ramadan has been in the summer and during pre-season. But I have always been lucky to practise Ramadan and there have never been problems with my physical condition - I am grateful for that."
"My religion is the most important thing in my life - I put my religion first, then comes my work. You can do both together and I am happy with that."
