The International Football Federation (FIFA) imposed harsh sanctions on the Israeli Football Association (IFA). The organization was fined 150,000 Swiss francs (approximately 141,700 pounds sterling) and was formally charged for further conduct..
The Disciplinary Committee praised the decision after considering the misfortune that the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) submitted to the 74th FIFA Congress on the eve of 2024. The leading football body has learned that the Israeli side violated two points of the disciplinary code:.
Article 13: Irregular behavior and violation of the principles of honesty. Article 15: Discrimination and suppression of racist images. Against the backdrop of financial tightening, FIFA has left Israel with little help in the fight against racism:.
At the three closest home matches, the IFA logo will display a prominent banner with the message: “Football unites the world – no discrimination.”. Its size and expansion must be confirmed with FIFA at least 15 days before the skin infection.
Israel will spend a third of its fine on developing and promoting a comprehensive anti-discrimination plan to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future..
Warto note that the Israeli Football Association reserves the right to challenge the decision in the appeal procedure.
The PFA also sought to punish Israel for including teams based in Palestine (the Western Bank) before its national league.. Prote FIFA has raised this point.
The organization explained its inactivity by the fact that, according to international public law, the residual legal status of the Zahidny Bank is deprived of the extremely difficult and inextricable nutrition.
During these disciplinary proceedings, the Palestine Football Association informed about the cancellation of the upcoming friendly matches of its national team against Mauritania and Benin. The games that were planned to be held in Morocco at the end of this month will not happen due to the foreign conflict at the Close Gathering.
