England: football clubs, including Manchester City, open their doors to host unifying iftars
On the other side of the Channel, behind the walls of prestigious stadiums where football aficionados ignite each week, a new excitement reigns in the stands…
A healthy excitement caused by the reissue of a landmark initiative last year, and which, once again this year, is making Muslim supporters of Manchester City clubs happy, Brentford FC and Aston Villa: the organization of unifying iftars in venues from which usually arises a clamor other than that, melodious, of the chanting of the Noble Koran.
