UAE footballer detained for using witchcraft

An Emirati footballer has been dropped from the national squad after being detained by police for allegedly using witchcraft. Faisal Khaleel was held for four days by police after being arrested with two Omani ‘witches’ in Dubai.

Khaleel, who has now been released without charge, wanted the witches to use their sorcery to get him included in the starting 11 and to bring bad luck to other members of the team, according to newspaper reports in Saudi Arabia.

Police sources confirmed that the two Omanis had been deported after confessing to conning people and using sorcery.

A close friend of Khaleel’s said that the player went to see the witches so they could tell him what his future held. “There is nothing abnormal in that,” the friend said. He added: “Police raided the premises and arrested the two Omanis and Khaleel. He is angry and upset. After these reports became public he was sacked from the next game with the national team.” The friend said Khaleel had no intention of using witchcraft either to benefit himself or to harm any other player.

General Khamis Mattar Al-Muzaina deputy director of Dubai Police said yesterday that he didn’t know anything about this issue.”
