FIFA wants to organize a Palestine vs Israel game in the US

FIFA is reportedly planning to stage a youth football match between Palestine and Israel at a tournament in the United States this September, according to a report by The Guardian.

The proposal has drawn criticism amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and after Palestinian Football Association president Jibril Rajoub was denied a U.S. visa to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Ahmed Ghoneim explains the story in this episode of More Than Just A Game.
