Eric Cantona Calls for Israel to be banned from FIFA and UEFA

Former Manchester United talisman, Eric Cantona reportedly calls for Israel to be banned from FIFA and UEFA.“In a way that a country represents itself on a global stage, the time has come to suspend Israel from that privilege. Four days after Russia started a war in Ukraine, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russia.

We are now 716 days into what Amnesty International have called a genocide – and yet Israel continue to be allowed to participate.“Why, why is it double standards? FIFA and UEFA must suspend Israel. Clubs everywhere must refuse to play Israeli teams. Current players everywhere must refuse to play against Israeli teams.“We all remember apartheid in South Africa.

The Sporting boycott was critical in ending it. We have power. You have power. And football fans around the world have power. Those teams represent you. It’s time for everyone to get off the sidelines. Who will follow me? You?”
