Israel’s top football officials met the FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Wednesday, in an attempt to stop a vote being held to suspend Israel form the world football body.
Palestine’s Football Association (PFA), have submitted an Israeli suspension proposal to be vote on at the FIFA general assembly on May 29.
For the proposal to be passed, a 75 percent approval vote would be required to fully implement the proposal, reports Haaretz.
In a letter to the FIFA members, Israel’s football association (FA) chief, Ofer Eini, described the Palestinian proposal as a “flagrant move that seeks to mix politics with sport – something that is completely contrary to FIFA’s vision.”
