ISIS Ban Citizens From Wearing Football Jersey

The Islamic State militant group have warned its citizens against wearing football jerseys made by sportswear companies Nike and Adidas.

The new rules issued by ISIS’ Hisba religious police in Al-Furat province in Iraq, stressed that those who break the rules will face 80 lashes in public.

The new initiative implies that strips from clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid and AC Milan come under the category as they are manufactured by the two sportswear giants.

Also, England, France and Germany international shirts are also among the banned.

This comes just weeks after the terror group banned football referees from one of its ISIS strongholds for practicing the laws of FIFA instead of Sharia.
