Israel vs. Football
To Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA and Aleksander Čeferin, President of UEFA:
We call on you to urgently intervene to stop the demolition of Aida refugee camp’s football pitch and protect Palestinian children’s right to play. Football is for everyone.

To Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA and Aleksander Čeferin, President of UEFA:
Our football pitch means the world to us. It's where we train, laugh, and feel like any kid.
There we can forget, even for a moment, about hatred and violence. Hundreds of children and young people come here to train with Aida Youth Center’s Aida Football Academy. It’s a rare place of safety amid frequent Israeli military incursions, often involving tear gas and guns.
But now, Israeli authorities want to take it from us, and bulldozers could arrive at any moment to destroy it.
We have less than a week - and you can help: If thousands of people around the world speak up, football fans, players, and athletes will follow. People like Infantino and Čeferin, presidents of FIFA and UEFA, won’t be able to look away anymore - and they have enough influence to tip the scale and stop Israel’s brutality.
Sign now and share our call to Gianni Infantino & Aleksander Čeferin.
