Overview

• UEFA unfurled a giant banner reading "Stop Killing Children. Stop Killing Civilians" before PSG and Tottenham entered the pitch at the Supercopa in Udine.
• Two Gazan children, identified as Tala and Mohamed, joined the pre-match ceremony to highlight the plight of war-affected youth.
• UEFA Foundation for Children announced partnerships with Médecins du Monde, Médecins Sans Frontières and Handicap International a day earlier to deliver humanitarian aid in conflict zones.
• The message stopped short of naming Israel explicitly, drawing criticism over its vagueness and renewed scrutiny of UEFA’s earlier response to the death of Suleiman Al-Obeid.
• The same Stadio Friuli is set to host an Italy–Israel World Cup qualifier on October 14, raising questions about security and diplomatic challenges at future matches.
