A report by the disciplinary committee of world football’s governing body found the IFA “failed to take meaningful action” against the club Beitar Jerusalem for “persistent and well-documented racist behaviour”.
In October 2024, the Palestine Football Association reported allegations of discrimination by the IFA to FIFA, which began an investigation. FIFA did not opt for the sanction requested by the Palestinian FA, which argued that the IFA should be suspended.
But the IFA was found to have failed to “abide by FIFA’s statutory objectives”, in a decision published by its disciplinary committee, which listed several racist incidents in Israeli football.
