In Oman, the footballer of the local Muscat club, Muhalad al-Rukadi, died before the national championship match against al-Suwaik. The Times of Oman reports.
The 29-year-old player passed out during a warm-up a few minutes before the start of the meeting. Al-Rukadi was taken to the hospital with a heart attack, but the doctors were unable to save the athlete.
