Leicester’s Fofana thanks Crystal Palace for mid-game pause to break Ramadan fast

Apr 29 2021

Leicester City F.C. defender Wesley Fofana has thanked opposing team Crystal Palace for allowing him to break Ramadan fast during the Foxes’ Premier League bout on Monday.

In the month of Ramadan, Muslims engage in a month of sacrifice and prayer where eating and drinking is not allowed between dawn and sunset.

A pre-game agreement was made where, after sunset, the game was paused to allow Fofana and Crystal Palace’s Cheikhou Kouyate to drink water and take energy gels on the side of the pitch, making it the first time ever a Premier League game was paused to allow Muslim players to break the fast.

Moneyval had investigated whether Malta had taken technical and legal action based on the board’s recommendations since September 2019 and ruled in favour of the country’s performance.

The country had implemented multiple changes to clamp down on money laundering activities, with the Malta Police Force increasing its manpower threefold within the financial crimes unit.
