Yamal does something unprecedented in the Spanish national team

For the first time in history, the Spanish team has a player fasting during Ramadan.

Yamal decided to fast for a month, starting February 28.

According to AS , Lamine Yamal decided to perform this ritual to show respect for his family's Muslim traditions. The Euro champion's decision stems from his close relationship with his grandmother Fatima, who is on a pilgrimage to Mecca. "I believe I am healthy enough to fast," Yamal shared.

At the highest level of football, fasting can be difficult for players. To support Yamal, the nutrition teams at Barcelona and the Spanish national team will create a special diet during Ramadan.

The young Spanish star will fast from sunrise to sunset. Previously, Silvia Tremoleda, Barcelona's head of nutrition, confirmed that they will support Yamal with the best nutrition during the fasting month while still respecting religion.

In La Liga, most clubs have players who fast. While some players strictly follow the rules during Ramadan, Yamal is allowed to skip the fast on match days.

Yamal rose to prominence with his outstanding performance at Euro 2024, where he helped Spain win the championship and was named the tournament's Best Young Player. At club level, Yamal is also an irreplaceable pillar of Barcelona. This season, the player born in 2007 has contributed to 27 goals in all competitions (13 goals, 14 assists).
