Israel risks FIFA offside with small-time settlement clubs
- 8 years ago
Along with five other Israeli clubs, Ariel City play their matches in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, considered occupied land by the international community. The executive committee of world football's governing body FIFA is due to meet on October 13 and decide whether to demand the Israel Football Association ban the small-time settlement clubs which play in its lower divisions. Israel could even be suspended from international competition over the issue.
