Soccer’s world governing body FIFA has once again delayed its decision to suspend Israel over the ongoing war in Gaza.

Back in May, the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) submitted a proposal to FIFA urging the organization to ban Israel. Backed by the Asian Football Confederation, PFA claimed that the Jewish state had violated FIFA’s statutes related to human rights by committing “genocide” in Gaza.

Initially, FIFA had promised to address the matter and share insights from its independent legal assessment before the start of the Paris Olympics. However, in a surprising move, FIFA announced that more time was needed to investigate and set a rough deadline for the end of August.

On Tuesday, FIFA issued a statement that the PFA’s claims will be delayed once again until the next council meeting in October:

“FIFA has received the independent legal assessment of the Palestine Football Association’s proposals against the Israel Football Association. This assessment will be sent to the FIFA Council to review in order that the subject can be discussed at its next meeting, which will take place in October. FIFA would like to thank both member associations for their ongoing support and cooperation.”

Thanks to all the delays, Israel’s national soccer team was able to compete in this year’s Olympic games. Unfortunately, Israel’s dreams of athletic glory faded quickly after it failed to reach the qualifying round following a defeat to Japan 1-0.
