FAI to vote on suspending Israel from Uefa competitions

The proposal stems from Bohemians getting the required 10% of signatories to seek an EGM, with the single-item agenda of “empowering the FAI to compel Uefa to suspend the Israeli Football Association for a clear breach of Uefa statutes.”

The FAI will ballot their General Assembly members at next month’s AGM on a motion proposing that Uefa suspend Israel.

Chief executive David Courell recently suggested that both Uefa and Fifa should “adopt a strong position” about the ongoing actions of Israel in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories but the FAI’s membership have taken the initiative.
