The request is based on the consideration that football cannot remain on the sidelines in the face of what he describes as genocide, occupation, and the systematic destruction of sports infrastructure.\n\nIn letters addressed to both bodies, Rajoub requests a review of the status of the Israel Football Association (IFA). In addition, he calls for the expulsion of clubs located in Palestinian territories and the opening of an independent investigation.\n\nThe proposed investigation would cover Israeli officials, players, and fans. The aim would be to analyze possible cases of incitement, racism, and support for military actions.\n\nThe Palestinian leader recalled that, since October 7, 2023, 416 Palestinian footballers and officials have died. Among them, more than a hundred children are counted. Rajoub also denounced the destruction of stadiums and the interruption of the leagues.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Palestinian football faces systematic eradication.<\/p><cite>Jibril Rajoub<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nRajoub highlighted that FIFA has already made similar decisions in the past, mentioning the cases of South Africa, Yugoslavia, and Russia. He warned that the lack of current action could undermine FIFA&#8217;s own statutes and values.\n\nThe PFA president urged Gianni Infantino and Aleksander \u010ceferin to respond firmly in the upcoming executive councils. Palestine hopes that the international football community will send a clear message.\n\nThis message should indicate that racism, apartheid, incitement, occupation, and genocide have no place in sport.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President of the Palestinian Football Association requests urgent measures from FIFA and UEFA The president of the Palestinian Football Association (PFA), Jibril Rajoub, has requested that FIFA and UEFA take urgent action against Israel.
