FIFA push back decision on Israeli suspension until after Olympic tournament
July 19 – Israel will be allowed to compete at the Olympic football tournament after FIFA delayed a decision over Palestine’s call to suspend the Israel Football Association (IFA).
FIFA claimed that “more time was needed” to resolve the dispute and its fraught legal context after both the Palestinian FA (PFA) and IFA demanded an extension to file their legal submissions.
The postponement saves FIFA from a ruling that could have seen Israel banned from the Olympic competition which kicks-off on July 24.
