Football’s world governing body FIFA will consider possible sanctions against the Israel Football Federation on Thursday following a proposal made by the Palestine Football Association.
The PFA called for a vote at FIFA’s congress in May to suspend Israel because of the war in Gaza.
At the time, FIFA President Gianni Infantino said it was matter for the FIFA Council to decide. The council is FIFA’s main decision-making body.
Thursday’s meeting of the FIFA Council has listed the proposal submitted by the Palestine Football Association at the 74th Fifa congress on its agenda.
The Palestine FA believes the Israeli federation has committed violations of FIFA regulations and wants sanctions against the country’s national teams and clubs.
