While Christmas is celebrated almost all over the world, Football does not stop this Thursday, December 25th, as four games from two different championships will be played on the planet in which there is no interruption by decision of the organizer. They may not be the most attractive games in the world, but football fans who are desperate to watch games consume “whatever” over the holidays. The most important thing is to see No. 5 roll.
First, The Saudi League of Saudi Arabia will host three games on the eleventh date: Fayha vs Hazem at Al Majma’ah Sports City Stadium; NEOM vs. Najma in it King Khalid Sport City Stadium; And Riyadh vs. Ettifaq at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium. None of the games can be seen on television and digital platforms in Argentina, but every game is available minute by minute on campollena.com.
The main reason why it is played on December 25th in the Arab country is this Christmas is not officially celebrated because the population is predominantly Muslim. and Christian holidays are not part of public culture. Due to a strict interpretation of Islam that considers this date a non-Islamic holiday, its celebration is prohibited in public spaces to avoid practices considered pagan or transgressive. Nevertheless, religious minorities can celebrate it privately and discreetly, subject to regulations that prevent any “visible sign” of it.
Where there will also be football is in Honduras, for the domestic league. Over there, Olancho FC and Platense face each other at the Marcelo Tinoco Stadium for the fifth game of Group B of the Triangulares.
The meeting was questionable because December 25th is a special day in the Central American country, unlike Saudi Arabia. However, the party was ratified by the party’s president Honduran National League, Jorge Herrera, who clarified that on the 25th there was activity in the First Division competition since none of the clubs had requested the postponement of their commitments.
