https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/palestine-football-association-president-denied-entry-canada-fifa-event-report(www.middleeasteye.net)The president of the Palestine Football Association (PFA), Jibril Rajoub, and two other officials were denied visas to enter Canada for the annual Fifa Congress. Rajoub was reportedly set to address the congress regarding Israel holding football matches in the illegally occupied West Bank. The PFA has urged Fifa, football's governing body, to intervene on its behalf. This action follows a complaint filed with the International Criminal Court against Fifa's president, accusing the organization of complicity in war crimes by permitting Israeli clubs to play on seized land.
