Kick Israel out of the 2026 World Cup

Why is this important?

Cancel the Italy-Israel match on October 14, 2025!

In just weeks, Italy will host Israel in a football match to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. But this is not just another match. 

As Israel carpet bombs Gaza, murders journalists and tens of thousands of Palestinian women, men and children, FIFA and UEFA continue to allow their national team to play. Normalising war crimes and sending the message that Palestinian lives don’t count. 

When Russia invaded Ukraine, it was quite rightly banned from international football overnight. [1]  Even European leaders now acknowledge that Israel is committing a genocide, with Spain now going further by saying that they will take steps to stop the genocide. [2, 3] 

Football is about respect, solidarity, and fairness. Not sports-washing genocide. 

That’s why this match matters. If we come together now, we can turn a global spotlight on Israel that FIFA and UEFA cannot ignore. A spotlight that makes clear: the beautiful game will not be used to cover up war crimes. When fans across Europe speak out, it creates headlines that force football’s leaders to act.

Stop the Game - Ban Israel from the World Cup!
