Is there any prohibition in prostrating in gratitude on football fields when a goal is scored?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In some football fields, when a player scores a goal, he prostrates in gratitude. Is there any prohibition in that?

Answer:
This is not a blessing. Is playing football a blessing? Prostration is for the occurrence of a blessing, and this is not a blessing; it is closer to being a calamity.
