The Irish Football Association (IFA) has voted to request that UEFA suspend Israel from participating in European competitions. This decision was made during a meeting held on Saturday, November 8, 2025.
The IFA"s move comes amid ongoing discussions regarding Israel"s involvement in European football, reflecting the association"s stance on the political situation in the region. The request will be formally submitted to UEFA for consideration.
This action by the IFA aligns with similar situations observed in other sports organizations, where political issues have influenced decisions regarding participation in international events. As previously reported, various sports bodies have faced challenges in balancing athletic competition with political considerations.
The outcome of the IFA"s request remains to be seen as UEFA reviews the proposal. Further developments in this matter will be monitored closely.
