The Happy Pod: Football while fasting -- Egypt's Ramadan pastime
I started playing when I was 15 years, maybe. Even in 60, I played football with the same age of people in Ramadan, which is very interesting. We used to buy a trophy, and then we'd go around other districts, and then here the people start to participate. We played in the street. You can imagine how wide is the street. Very competitive. You cannot feel that you are fasting when you are playing.
