Israel has killed more than 800 athletes in Gaza during the ongoing genocide, including 421 football players. Additionally, they target limbs of players, detain them or prevent them from travelling and have destroyed 288 sports facilities in Gaza and the West Bank.
Yet, FIFA has not suspended or sanctioned the Israeli Football Association, and instead continues to support their art washing of genocide, apartheid and occupation.
And of course, Israel isn't the only colonial project FIFA provides these services too. For instance, they recently handed their 'peace prize' to Donald Trump.
What do you think about FIFA, football and how to reclaim sports while not ignoring the things happening in the world and how it's all connected?
This and more is what we'll chat about!
