A Blackburn-based football club has invited members of the Muslim community to perform `Eid prayer on its pitch, becoming the first football club in the country to host the Islamic prayer ritual.

Blackburn Rovers said they would open Ewood Park to its local Muslim community for `Eid prayers, which mark the end of the fasting month of Ramadan, Lancashire Live reported.

“For many years, Rovers have sponsored the annual `Eid in the Park festival, which is held at Corporation Park, and the club is delighted to show further support by hosting this year’s `Eid day prayer on the Ewood Park pitch,” the Rovers wrote in a statement.
