Red Card Israel at FIFA Council
Urgent Call to Action
Please take 10 seconds to email FIFA Council Members and ask them to #RedCardIsrael and suspend Israeli teams on the 31st August 2024, when they are meeting to specifically discuss Israeli sanctions.
The sanctioning of Israeli teams is a real opportunity to help isolate Israel internationally for genocidal acts, including its killing of civilians and footballers, and could help build peace in Palestine. Similar sports sanctions helped to end South African Apartheid. FIFA Council Members must call for the IMMEDIATE suspension of Israeli teams and act in accordance with FIFA Statutes and Olympic Charter. It is a chance to stand in solidarity with Palestinians, including their own colleagues at the Palestine Football Association, and at least 186,000 Palestinians who have been killed directly and indirectly by Israeli forces since October 2023, among them 240 footballers.
What can I do to help the cause?
FIFA wrote the rules, now it and its Council Members must ensure its Member Associations play by them. We have a list of some of the Israel Football Association’s violations to FIFA’s Statutes in our pre-written letter, but we need your support and name behind it. Please enter your details and click “start writing” to generate our automatic letter template and send it to all FIFA Council Members, including FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, today!
