UEFA’s executive committee is expected to vote on suspending Israeli soccer teams from international play due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The UEFA Europa League, Europe’s biggest soccer body, is reportedly moving toward a vote to suspend Israel over the war in Gaza, according to The Associated Press.
A majority of UEFA’s 20-member executive committee is expected to support any vote in favor of suspending Israeli teams from international play, per the outlet. It would prevent the Israeli national team and club teams from playing in international competitions, including next year’s World Cup.
An Israel Football Federation (IFA) spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the organization does not have „any indication“ that it is facing the vote.
„I don’t know on what sources the story is based on besides the late publications. We don’t have any indications that we are facing such an act. We are focusing on our international matches against Norway and Italy.
