The FIFA president hopes for peace soon.
There are signs that the situation may improve soon.
Details: Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president, addressed the ongoing issues between Israel and Palestine, which are affecting football worldwide:
“I hope the agreement between Israel and Hamas leads to calm among protesters. Everyone should be content with the peace plan and support the process. This situation transcends football but impacts our sport as well,” Infantino said.
Previously, several countries called for the suspension of the Israeli national team from FIFA and UEFA competitions, including the upcoming 2026 World Cup in the United States.
