To FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Tokyo Sexwale, Chairman of the FIFA Monitoring Committee Israel-Palestine:

As concerned citizens from across the Middle East, North Africa, South Africa, and the world, we ask you to uphold FIFA’s own rules and provide fair recommendations demanding the Israeli Football Association either removes the settlement football clubs from its membership or relocates them outside the illegal settlements. If the Israeli Football Association doesn't comply it must lose its membership with FIFA, as has been the case with other federations that have refused to accept FIFA's fair play rules. There should be zero tolerance for the six teams that flagrantly ignore international law and operate in occupied territory. Settlement football teams legitimise the illegal occupation and condone the suffering the Palestinians face as a result.

Infantino: Let the children play

Palestinian families are banned from stepping onto football pitches where their homes and farms once were. That’s because settlers have violently stolen their land, and set up clubs that are only for Israelis.

Now the new boss of world football has a chance to sort it out.

Gianni Infantino recently became the head of FIFA, promising to fight for human rights. In days he’ll host a meeting where Israel’s violation of FIFA’s rules will be raised. He’s being lobbied hard to delay or do nothing, but if enough of us speak out now we can let him know his reputation will nose-dive if he doesn’t let Palestinian children play.

We'll deliver our petition to Infantino directly with messages from dispossessed children. Add your name, then share with everyone.
