Muslim Referee Stops Football Match to Break Ramadan Fast

One of the odder stones in recent days comes from Senegal where a referee stopped a game to break his Ramadan fast.


The game between Casa Sport and Yeggo was half-an-hour old when referee Ousseynou Gueye suspended play so his officials could have a drink and eat on the gde of the pitch. Despite being heckled by spectators, Gueye finished his snack before resuming.




“Legally, it is not possible to stop a match to break the fast,’ he said afterwards. “But you can enjoy a break in the game to meet a health need. The human body needs water.”
