Calls for action against Israel in international soccer because of the conflict with Hamas will be stepped up by Palestinian officials at the annual FIFA congress next month.
The Palestine Football Association proposal to 211 member federations in Thailand calls for "appropriate sanctions, with immediate effect, against Israeli teams," according to FIFA documents released late Wednesday, one month before the May 17 meeting.The motion notes "international law violations committed by the Israeli occupation in Palestine, particularly in Gaza" and cites FIFA statutory commitments on human rights and against discrimination.
Russia's exclusion was supported by FIFA because several UEFA members refused to play games against Russian opponents. They included all three men's national teams -- Poland, Sweden, Czech Republic -- who were in a qualifying playoffs bracket in March 2022 for the men's World Cup that year. Russia did not play and Poland advanced to the tournament in Qatar.
The Palestine FA said in its proposal to FIFA: "There is a good chance that some football associations will refuse to play against Israel." The latest proposal again cites Israel's "violation of the FIFA Statutes manifest in its continued inclusion of football teams located on the territory of another association in its national league."
