An international coalition has filed a complaint at the ICC against FIFA and UEFA presidents, stating they aided war crimes by allowing Israeli settlement clubs on occupied Palestinian land to compete in official tournaments. The groups say this support violates international law and amounts to complicity in settlement expansion and apartheid practices.
The 120-page filing argues that FIFA and UEFA provided financial, organizational, and structural support to clubs based in illegal settlements, despite repeated warnings from UN experts and international bodies. The coalition adds these actions contributed to the transfer of Israel’s civilian population into occupied territory and to practices amounting to apartheid under the Rome Statute.
