Islamic group ban football from controlled regions

ISIS militants have banned football from its controlled areas according to several reports.

The group according to a report  has imposed a strict ban against any entertainment including music and football which it considers a 'product of the decadent West.'

They threatened to give anyone caught watching last Sunday's Real Madrid versus Barcelona football match 80 lashes.

The ban was issued across all the Isis-held territories in Syria and Northern Iraq including the city of Mosul .

A Kudistan Democratic Party source told The Sun: "IS prohibits watching and playing any sport, particularly football as it seen as a product of the decadent West."

In January, Isis militants killed 13 teenage boys for watching the Asian Cup football match between Iraq and Jordan.

The teenagers were caught watching the game on television in the city of Mosul, which is controlled by the Islamic State.

The teenagers were rounded up and publicly executed by a firing squad using machine guns according to the report.
