A video of Turkish footballers breaking fast during the match wins the internet!
A video clip is doing rounds on social media featuring Turkish Muslim footballers who played the match on the first Ramadan and broke the fast taking a short break on the field.
Reportedly a break was taken during the match after an injury occurred which coincided with the Maghrib call to prayer hence, players took the opportunity to break their fasts.
A bunch of players from the Turkish football team Ankara sat together on the field to break their fast with water and dates.
The video was shared by the Twitter account of the Turkish sports page, Ben Turkiye.
The video clip has garnered immense attention from internet users in Pakistan and across the world.
This is phenomenal. May Allah make it easy for these players. Fasting and playing football wow!!

I don’t even follow Islam but something beautiful about watching footballers do this mid game, massive respect to the club and players for allowing this to happen.

Several social media users extended prayers for the players and wished them success.

There were a few pieces of advice from the social media users for the management to reschedule the football matches after the fast for Muslim players who are observing obligatory fasts in the month of Ramadan.
This is nice to see, but shouldn't football authorities see there's a need for 1 minute break for Muslim footballers to break their fast?
