Take action now to urge football federations on UEFA’s Executive Committee to push for a meeting and to support the call from Palestinians and sports fans around the world: Ban Israel.
People power is pushing even corrupt UEFA, Europe’s governing body of football, to consider suspending Israel.
That’s what multiple media reports are saying. Pressure is bubbling up from below and within to kick genocidal Israel out of world football. A UEFA Executive Committee Meeting could happen very soon.
Let’s make sure the vote happens soon and that UEFA listens!
We only need 5 members of the UEFA Executive Committee to call for a meeting. But we need a majority to vote to suspend apartheid Israel.

The Italian Football Coaches Association, eight UN experts, the Turkish Football Federation, Eric Cantona, forty-four members of the Italian and European parliaments and 475,000 people have all called for Israel to be suspended from UEFA.
Stadiums have been filled with Red Card Israel banners. In Italy and Norway, mobilizations are planned at World Cup Qualifiers with Israel.
The Israel Football Association (IFA) includes teams in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land. Israel’s national team, the face of the IFA, has dedicated matches, and IFA clubs have sent care packages, to Israeli soldiers committing genocide in Gaza.
We have no doubt that UEFA, along with FIFA, are irredeemably corrupt. They’ve exhibited a criminal level of colonial racism and hypocrisy, sanctioning Russia over its illegal invasion of Ukraine while shielding Israel from accountability over its decades-old atrocity crimes against Palestinians.
But we have people power on our side. And we won’t stop until apartheid Israel is banned from world football and all international sports just as apartheid South Africa once was.
Take action now.
