Chelsea to host first ever Open Iftar

Agency :
Chelsea will be making history today by hosting an Open Iftar at Stamford Bridge, becoming the first English Premier League club to do so.
Open Iftar is the largest community event during Ramadan, allowing Muslims observing the fast to come together and break bread.
This event also provides a safe space for mutual dialogue and engagement, and as such, a number of local mosques, Chelsea FC staff, and members of Chelsea’s Muslim community, including supporters and school students, will be invited to attend.
The Open Iftar event will be run in partnership with the Ramadan Tent Project, a charity established in 2013 that aims to bring communities together and develop understanding of Ramadan. This year, Ramadan Tent Project is celebrating their 10-year anniversary, and they organise the annual Ramadan Festival, a celebration of art, culture, and creativity inspired by the holy month of Ramadan.
Omar Salha, founder and CEO of the Ramadan Tent Project, expressed his gratitude, saying, “We are honoured to bring Open Iftar to Stamford Bridge, on the occasion of our 10-year anniversary and our 2023 theme of “Belonging”, and work in partnership with Chelsea FC who have been driving inclusivity in football.”
