12 Middle Eastern countries called on FIFA to ban Israel from participating in international tournaments
Twelve Middle Eastern countries have contacted the International Football Federation (FIFA), calling on the organization to ban Israel from participating in international tournaments. This was reported by Sky News with reference to a letter from the federations.
It is noted that among the countries that contacted FIFA were Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The TV channel indicated that the appeal was sent to all 211 national football federations and six regional confederations, including the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).
The general director of the Israeli Football Association, Niv Goldstein, responded to this by saying that he hopes that FIFA will not mix politics and football.
