Ramadan is where Muslims abstain from eating and drinking from dawn to dusk. It begins on June 28, which is when the first round of 16 matches are staged till July 27.

Notable Muslim players include the Ivory Coast's Touré brothers, Yaya and Kolo, Roma winger Gervinho and Cheick Tioté. Practicing Muslims on France's squad include Karim Benzema, Bacary Sagna, Mamadou Sakho and Moussa Sissoko, the Huffington Post reported.

Even though the players have a disadvantage of not being able to eat or drink anything, players such as the Ivory Coast's Kolo Touré said that Ramadan makes him "feel even stronger."

"I think it's amazing how Ramadan can make you really strong," he said.

MAKKAH — Municipal authorities in Makkah have erected eight giant TV screens in various parts of the holy city to show the taraweeh (late evening) prayers during the entire month of Ramadan.

A number of screens were also erected in the central area around the Grand Mosque. Through these large screens residents and visitors of Makkah will be able to watch the taraweeh prayers wherever they are, a source said.


The taraweeh is special voluntary prayers held post-Isha on Ramadan nights and during which long portions of the Qur'an are recited.

The source said the municipality would also establish signboards at the entrances to Makkah and traffic lights to warn pilgrims and visitors against congestion and possible suffocation as a result of the huge crowds in the Grand Mosque.

He said the signboards would explain to pilgrims the steps and safety measures they should take to avoid the hazards that may result from the crowds of people in the Grand Mosque and the surrounding areas.

Through an automated mechanism the Presidency of the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques and the Grand Mosque police force will inform the Civil Defense of any overcrowding. In turn, the Civil Defense will warn people against going to the Grand Mosque and will ask them to perform their prayers in other mosques nearest to them in the holy city, he said.

The official said the measure aimed to avoid stampedes in the Grand Mosque.
