  • Tranmere Rovers welcomed fans for Eid al-Fitr prayers at Prenton Park

Tranmere Rovers have become the second club in the UK to open its doors to Muslim fans to host Eid al-Fitr prayers.

The club welcomed people to Prenton Park to celebrate the end of the fasting month of Ramadan, where Muslims typically fast by refraining from eating and drinking during daylight hours.

Blackburn Rovers were the first, which they did back in 2022.
