Fasting during the month of Ramadan is the fourth pillar of Islam; it is obligatory on every healthy person unless you have valid excuses: sickness, traveling, and from old age (and menses and postnatal period of bleeding, for women) are the only exceptions. There are some scholars, however, who have ruled that those whose jobs involve working in harsh conditions causing exhaustion and dehydration are allowed to skip: However, they ought to make up for the fasts later.

 

Based on this, if you are a professional player and you cannot postpone the match then you may skip if you feel you won’t be able to combine it with the rigors of fasting, in which case, you ought to make up the fast later.

 

If, however, it is not your profession. If instead, it is a hobby for you then you ought to fast, and you are not allowed to skip it.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
