I am going to see the bulldogs play footy on Sunday afternoon. For those wondering where I'm going with this, it is the last season home game for the team's high profile Muslim, Hazem El Masri. Given Ramadan is on atm, the rules of fasting mean no food or drink between sun rise and sun set.
Given a 3pm kickoff, he won't have had anything to eat or drink for several hours and playing football at this level must be quite draining.
Are there any special dispensations given if you *have to* exert yourself heavily or do you just need to suck it up?
Assuming no special dispensations, how would you go about preparing for a physically taxing day?
I thought I'd add a wikipedia link for Hazem for anyone else interested (I'm 100% sure dlish knows who he is):
