"FIFA is supporting the Israeli occupation by legitimizing clubs that play in illegal West Bank settlements
FIFA promised to investigate illegal Israeli settlement clubs, then allowed them to play on. This decision deepens FIFA's complicity in the Israeli occupation. There are now 10 operating in the occupied West Bank, and they are getting bigger.

If you take this long to investigate something, there is a good chance you are hiding something. FIFA and UEFA, it turns out, have been hiding several things. Ten, to be precise. That is the number of illegal Israeli settlement clubs now operating in the occupied West Bank, at least seven of them playing on land that should fall under the jurisdiction of the Palestine Football Association (Palestine FA). There are also three clubs in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights."
