FIFA Postpones Decision on Palestinian Request to Suspend Israel

The governing body will review the legal assessment of the proposal in October, citing the Gaza war and alleged discrimination.

The Palestinian Football Association submitted the request in May, citing violations of international law and discrimination by Israel.
FIFA initially promised an expedited review with a decision expected in July, which was later delayed to August and now October.
The proposal includes accusations that Israel has destroyed football infrastructure and killed Palestinian players during the Gaza conflict.
The Israeli Football Association denies the allegations, calling them unfounded and politically motivated.
FIFA has not provided further details on the legal assessment or the exact date of the October meeting.
