Leeds United is calling on supporters to respect a scheduled pause in play during Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round tie against Norwich City. This pause allows players observing Ramadan to break their fast. The club issued the plea following boos heard during their recent match against Manchester City.
Leeds United explicitly condemns any supporters who boo players observing Ramadan. The club stated, "On Sunday against Norwich City, there is an opportunity to show the very best of Leeds United, and that everyone is welcome at Elland Road."
The club acknowledged communication issues during the Manchester City game, noting that some fans were unaware of the protocol for players to break their fast. This was the first time a match at Elland Road had been stopped for this purpose.
