A youth centre in the Aida refugee camp, Bethlehem, has denied claims that Israel has halted plans to demolish a local football pitch. Munther Amira, head of the centre, stated they have not received any official confirmation despite reports suggesting the decision was influenced by FIFA and UEFA. The pitch, targeted for demolition citing security concerns, is crucial for the camp’s youth, with ongoing fears it may be destroyed. The Palestinian Football Association condemned the order as part of a broader pattern of targeting Palestinian sports facilities.
