    Possibly a dumb question regarding Mecca. As I understand it, only Muslims are allowed into Mecca, how do sporting teams visiting Mecca to play Al Wehda deal with that restriction if they have non-Muslim players? Are they granted an exemption or am I misunderstanding something?

    Not a dumb question. In fact its good to clear before getting into conclusion.

    Anyways, the stadium outside the Makkah City borders so not an issue..If Wehda signs any foreign coach or players either they do up n down from Jeddah/Taif to Makkah or stay is place nearby the stadium.
