As part of the "Open Iftar" events, which have become a tradition in the country by the "Ramadan Tent Project", a collective iftar was held for the first time in Chelsea's stadium in the capital, London.
Organized in cooperation with the "Ramadan Tent Project", an award-winning charity that aims to bring people together during Ramadan, the event brought together hundreds of people for the iftar program.
With this organization held in Chelsea's stadium, iftar was given for the first time in an English Premier League team's stadium.
Chelsea Foundation President Simon Taylor, Chelsea's first black player Paul Canoville and Chelsea's Lord Daniel Finkelstein from the Board of Directors also attended the event.
Free iftar is given to the public during the month of Ramadan through the open iftar programs carried out within the scope of the Ramadan Tent Project, which was established in England in 2013 and celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
The Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB) is among the main sports of the iftar organization, which aims to spread the spirit of Ramadan by bringing communities together.
