What is the ruling on what some football players do by prostrating in gratitude when they win, and some claim that it is a form of calling to Allah?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it prescribed for some football players to prostrate in gratitude when they win, as they claim?

The Shaykh:
Is this a blessing? Prostration of gratitude is not done except when a new blessing occurs or a calamity is averted. Football is, at most, permissible, and it is not a blessing, so prostration of gratitude is not prescribed for it.

The presenter:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you, is what some claim about it being a type of calling to Allah?

The Shaykh:
No, no. Calling to Allah is not done except in accordance with the Book and the Sunnah. Calling to Allah is done with everything. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Something they consider to be calling to Allah? Yes, no calling to Allah. Calling to Allah is not done except with what came in the Book and the Sunnah, and nothing is introduced in it that Allah and His Messenger have not prescribed. Yes.
