On Sunday, the Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, began, which will last for 30 days. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, which could be a challenge for professional athletes at least at first glance. However, Hillal Soudani, the experienced footballer from Maribor, emphasizes that fasting does not cause him excessive difficulties or hinder him in his football obligations.
“For me, this is not a problem at all. It’s not the first time I’m fasting during playing. I’ve been doing this for a long time. I did the same when I played for Dinamo and when I was in England and Greece. I’m doing the same now in Maribor, and I have no problem with it. All credit to the people in the club who respect that. For me, it’s normal and easy. I fast and play matches. As long as I play well, I don’t think it’s a problem,” said the 36-year-old Hillal Soudani for Šport TV.
The Algerian moved to Maribor last summer, previously playing successfully in Portugal, Croatia, and Greece. He also proved himself at Nottingham Forest, before coming to the Ljudski vrt in Saudi Arabia where he represented Damac.
