The future of Israeli football teams in European competitions hangs in the balance as UEFA’s Executive Committee meets tomorrow to consider potential exclusion. The decision comes amid growing controversy over Israel’s recent actions in Gaza and increasing pressure from international partners.
According to sources, Qatar, one of UEFA’s biggest financial backers, has been a key force pushing for sanctions against Israeli clubs. Rumors suggest that a majority of committee members may support the move, though the outcome will only be confirmed after the official vote.
The debate has sparked heated reactions from across the football world. French football legend Eric Cantona called for Israeli teams to be punished, while the Spanish Football Federation has hinted that its national team could withdraw from competitions if Israel reaches the World Cup finals.
UEFA has yet to issue an official statement, and tomorrow’s decision could reshape the participation of Israeli clubs in Europe’s top football tournaments.
