FIFA Urged as Gaza Football Faces Collapse
The Palestinian Football Association has emphasized that delaying decisive decisions by the International Federation (FIFA) poses an existential threat to the future of football in Gaza and Palestine. Over the past years, more than 1,013 sports figures, stadiums, and sporting facilities have been destroyed, local competitions have been halted, and Palestinian teams are now unable to host matches on their own soil. The association considers that ongoing delays go beyond mere commercial discussions and have led to a decline in confidence in the FIFA system itself. It also pointed out the participation of settlement clubs and non-football political entities in the development of football in Gaza, raising questions about adherence to institutional rules. The federation called for the consistent application of FIFA laws, while upholding principles and transparency. It affirmed that restoring the credibility of Palestinian football requires democratic leadership that guarantees rights and defends the core values of sport.
