Palestinian Rights

A complaint filed at the International Criminal Court accuses FIFA president Gianni Infantino and UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin of aiding war crimes and crimes against humanity related to Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territory. The 120-page document, submitted on February 16 by advocacy groups and Palestinian stakeholders, focuses on the inclusion of settlement-based Israeli football clubs in official leagues. UEFA has dismissed the allegations as unsubstantiated, while FIFA has not responded.
