Faith and football united a soccer team in Indonesia. Three Indonesian soccer players (all of different religions) prayed on the field after scoring big in a game last month.

The Bali United FC team posted a photo to Facebook on Sunday showing Christian, Muslim and Hindu players side-by-side as they showed gratitude.

“Because different beliefs will not prevent us from achieving the same goals,” noted the text that accompanied the post.

In the photo, the three players are praying in their respective faith traditions. Players Ngurah Nanak (a Hindu), Yabes Roni (a Protestant), and Miftahul Hamdi (a Muslim) all lined up on the field after Yabes Roni scored a goal.

“I always show my gratitude after scoring a goal,” Roni told Kompas.com, a local media outlet. “If you ask God to give you a goal, then He shall make it happen.”

Hamdi knelt down beside Roni, while Nanak stood with hands clasped in a prayer position near his forehead. Photographer Miftahuddin Halim captured the image.

“Even though we all come from different religions and ethnicities, we’re all one,” Roni said. “We have to protect the country’s harmony and stay united.”

After Roni scored a goal against Borneo FC on May 14, he ran to the corner of the field to celebrate, then made his way to his knees for prayer. Bali United won 3-0 against Borneo.

“The celebrations made by the three players are not unfamiliar. All three often show the same celebration,” Kompas.com reported, according a translation of the report into English.

The dominant religion in Indonesia is Islam. The celebratory prayers mark a special coming together of religions.

“The photo comes at a particularly important time in Indonesian history, as the rise of less tolerant Islamist political factions in the country in recent months has threatened Indonesia’s more moderate and secular government,” The Washington Post noted of the photo.
