The Association of Italian Football Coaches (AIAC) has called on FIFA and UEFA to temporarily suspend ‘Israel’ from international competitions, citing a "moral imperative" and a humanitarian crisis.

The request, which was unanimously approved by the association's national board and sent to the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), highlights the "too many innocent deaths," including "many athletes," in the ongoing conflict.

AIAC President Renzo Ulivieri stated that "the values of humanity, which underpin those of sport, compel us to oppose acts of oppression with terrible consequences".

This is long overdue. It is a disgrace that israel has not been suspended. Russia was suspended for far less.

These people don't move out of conviction/ideology but convenience.

100%. Like all successful capitalists, they're empathy devoid sociopaths. You can't appeal to their decency, sense of shame or morals, as they have none and they see those as a poor person's quality.

They only speak one language: power. As I'm sure you know, the way we speak it to them is to punch them in the wallet. They will ignore everything outside of that because nothing else matters to them.

It's FIFA, these ghouls care nothing but swimming in money.
