Saudi Football Player Asks for Reconsideration of Match Dates
Al-Taye player Abdulaziz Al-Kharabi has asked the Saudi Professional Football League competition committee to reconsider the dates of Roshen League matches as they coincide with the call to prayer time.
Abdulaziz Al-Kharabi’s Statement
Abdulaziz Al-Kharabi spoke after the team’s match against its guest Al-Nasr (1-2), which brought them together last night, Friday, in the eighth round of the Roshen League, telling the Saudi channel SSC: “Congratulations to the opponent and I will be back come to you for us. The team gave a comparative reaction. With previous matches, God willing, we will compensate our fans in the coming days.”
He continued by saying: “We have great players and stars and with the new coach we are more organized and you have seen that and the players will give a lot and the next one will be better.”
Al-Kharabi added: “We are in this country, a Muslim country, and frankly speaking, the time of prayer is the most important in the whole world. We want the competition committee to find a solution to this problem. It’s complicated. We play while the muezzin calls for prayer.”
“I hope the competition committee will look at the timing of the matches as they fall during prayer times.”

Previous Incident
It is noteworthy that the referee of the match between the Al-Riyadh club and its guest Al-Faiha (1-2) last Tuesday in the 32nd round of the Saudi Arabian King’s Cup stopped the match for a while when the prayer rang in the evening raised in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
