FIFA Delays Vote on Palestinian Call to Suspend Israel Football Association

ai generated text

FIFA has taken steps to address concerns regarding Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank. The Palestinian Football Association (PFA) had called for a vote to ban Israel from international competition due to alleged violations of FIFA rules during the ongoing war in Gaza. In response, FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced that an extraordinary meeting of the top board would be convened to discuss the matter. Additionally, FIFA ordered an urgent legal evaluation of the PFA's proposal to suspend Israel, which accuses the Israeli Football Association of complicity in violations of international law by the Israeli government.

    1. Like everyone, I was extremely, extremely shocked by what happened on October 7 in Israel. And like anyone else, I was extremely, extremely shocked, and am extremely shocked at what's happening in Gaza.
    2. FIFA will mandate as of now an independent legal expertise to assess the three requests made by the Palestinian Football Association and make sure that the status and regulations of FIFA are applied in the correct way.
    3. In order to ensure a fair and due process, of course, this legal assessment will have to allow for input and claims of both member associations.
