FIFA stand still over  Israel football association,  Palestine football federation face off,  calls for peace

By Abdulgafar Oladimeji

World football governing body FIFA is in a stalemate in finding solutions to the lingering  crisis between Israel Football  Association , IFA versus Palestine Football Federation . PFF.

IFA was affiliated to FIFA in 1948.

PFF  had a Provisional affiliation to FIFA in 31 May 1995, became full member in  1998

FIFA has continued to hold its breath from  taking a definite decision on the matter  involving both football governing bodies.

Palestine Football Federation  had asked FIFA to suspend or expel of Israel  FA over the allegations bordering on the  restrictions of the  movement of players between Gaza and the West Bank.

PFF also alleged that  Israel was hindering  the Palestine federation from gaining  access to the importation of football equipments.

Sepp Blatter and Jacques Rogge, then presidents of FIFA and the International Olympic Committee had travelled to the region in efforts to find solutions to the dispute, this moves failed to yield the much anticipated solutions to the dispute.

In  May 2024  at the FIFA Congress, meeting  held  in Bangkok, PFF asked  for a vote on a proposal to exclude Israel, the congress then referred the matter  to FIFA Council.

FIFA has continued  to hope and search for mechanism through which the dispute could be resolved, considering that both  federations are its affiliate that are entitled to enjoy equal  treatments in all football matters.

The autumn council meeting, in Zurich,  resorted to the implementation of an  “independent legal analysis” by allowing for  the governance, audit and compliance committee  for an  investigations into   PFF’s allegations of discrimination in breach of FIFA regulations.

Also there  were claims on the alleged participation by clubs from Palestinian territories in competitions organized by Israel.

Speaking on the dispute , Infantino said: “The FIFA Council has implemented due diligence on this very sensitive matter and, based on a thorough assessment, we have followed the advice of the independent experts.

“The ongoing violence in the region confirms that, above all considerations, and as stated at the 74th FIFA Congress, we need peace. As we remain extremely shocked by what is happening, and our thoughts are with those who are suffering, we urge all parties to restore peace to the region with immediate effect.” Infantino said .
