The Blackburn-based football club, Blackburn Rovers, opened prayer rooms for Muslim fans.
In a tweet on Tuesday (August 10) the club said:
Any Muslim supporters attending tonight’s game against Morecambe who need to pray their Maghrib Salaah during the second half, please ask your closest steward who will direct you to our multi-faith room in the Blackburn End.
This gesture was widely welcomed on social media.
The Liverpool way posted: “Liverpool fan, but that's a class gesture from Rovers. Fair play.”
Huda said: "What a wonderful way to show solidarity and belonging .. thank you"
