Referees will be allowed to pause football matches for Muslim players to break their fast during Ramadan. Match officials across the Premier League and English Football League have been encouraged to find a natural pause in play during evening matches.
The guidance was announced just before the beginning of the holy month which started on March 23. It means players will be given the time to break their fast by drinking liquids, energy gels or supplements.
Referees have also been advised to identify who will be fasting ahead of kick-off and agree a time when the stop in play can happen.
