Muslim players will be able to break Ramadan fast during WSL matches

Muslim players who are fasting over Ramadan and taking part in WSL matches will have the opportunity to break their fast during games following recent guidance issued to match officials.

Ahead of Ramadan, Sky Sports News exclusively revealed match officials across the Premier League and the EFL have been asked to allow players to break their fast during evening matches over the holy period.

Importantly, that guidance also covers matches in the Women's Super League and the FA Women's Championship, allowing elite players in the women's game to break their fast by taking on liquids, energy gels or nutritional supplements, during a natural pause in play.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community.
