FIFA (International Association Football Federation in English), like many organizations, is corrupted. Here are some of the few things it has done over the past couple of weeks:

1) "FIFA president Gianni Infantino has fended off concerns over ongoing visa issues for players and officials entering the ⁠United States for the World Cup, saying the global football body’s executives are not “kings of the world” and cannot override government decisions.

Infantino, facing questions from the media on the eve of the tournament on Wednesday, said that FIFA ⁠is focused on being a “sports organisation” and will not intervene in helping the US determine approvals for entry into the country" [Al Jazeera].

2) "FIFA is banning spectators at World Cup matches from bringing reusable water bottles into its stadiums, after initially saying it would allow them.

Just three weeks ago, FIFA updated its code of conduct policy for North American venues, stating that “empty, transparent, reusable plastic bottles, up to (1 litre in) capacity, may be brought into the stadium,” Reuters reported, but backpedalled Thursday, saying they were no longer allowed and that fans will now have to purchase bottled water on site" [Global News].

3) "FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended World Cup ticket prices, saying Wednesday "if we are doing something wrong, everyone in North America is doing something wrong'" [CBC News].

As a sporting organization, it is okay with harming the local economy, the environment and does not extend its influence when it comes to the people! (Which is nothing new!)

At the same time, 'Canada' has denied entry to Palestinian Football Association officials during the pre World Cup meeting? [The Guardian]. Eventually, visas are granted after pressure from the public [Palestinian Youth Movement], but this is how you know that FIFA is a platform for Zionists!

So please keep talking about Palestine. Boycott, donate and protest! Consider helping my friend, Suad (@stillwritingtoday) [#279 in the vetted spreadsheet by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi. @/nabulsi has written multiple posts for Suad, with the latest update here].
