The Football Association of Ireland has called for Israel’s immediate suspension over the Israeli FA’s violation of UEFA’s statutes in occupied Palestinian territory.
On November 8, 2025, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) approved a resolution urging UEFA to suspend Israel from European competitions due to its failure to enforce an antiracism policy and for playing matches in occupied Palestinian territory without consent. This follows previous calls from Turkish and Norwegian football heads and a UN report alleging genocide in Gaza. Over 421 Palestinian footballers have reportedly died since the military offensive began, prompting legal experts to demand UEFA take action. FIFA President Gianni Infantino dismissed these concerns as geopolitical issues, reflecting a broader trend of Israel not facing accountability in sports.
