Investing in football clubs

We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen,
may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:

There are many wrong things involved in football, such
as showing the ‘awrah (parts of the body that should be covered) and
swearing, etc. Taking part in these things is haraam. So let them look
for something else, and Allaah will provide for them.
