Last week, FIFA+ was caught streaming games from the illegal settlement of Har Homa, East Jerusalem.

Now it's removing links 🖇️.

For a company that claims the West Bank’s status is “unresolved,” FIFA seems keen to hide activities there. Is that because it knows this is 🇵🇸 land?

[Scottish Sport for Palestine @ScotSport4Pal]

FIFA is currently fighting the issue of illegal Israeli settlement clubs in the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

But in the last two days, it has been deleting proof it is broadcasting games from these settlements.

Not a good look for @FIFAcom.⬇️

I’m still raising funds for the family of Palestinian football legend Suleiman Al-Obaid, who was killed in Gaza.

He left behind 5 kids and a widow.

These are his youngest daughters Dina and Asia praying for him. Please help and share if you can https://t.co/mWevJThF82

Disgraceful @celticfc sign Jocelin Ta Bi from Israeli side Maccabi Netanya - linked to drone manufacturers XTEND.

£2 million of Celtic fans' hard-earned money has just gone into the Israeli genocidal regime.

UNFOLLOW your club. BDS Celtic.

1/ Rumours that Celtic @CelticFC has bid £2M for Maccabi Netanya's Jocelin Ta Bi should rightfully infuriate fans.

This is an insult to Palestinians, to the ethos of the club, and to the Celtic fans who practice and follow BDS as a matter of principle in their day-to-day.

It’s unbelievable how little attention this is getting.

FIFA’s and UEFA’s presidents are now facing an ICC complaint for allegedly supporting Israel’s war crimes. This is truly one of the darkest chapters in football history.

@Sport4Palestine @UEFA @FIFAcom Full interview with @Sport4Palestine here: https://t.co/AhEm4Ct0QC.

This is the first time leaders of sports organisations (Infantino of @FIFAcom and Čeferin of @UEFA) are being accused of aiding and abetting war crimes and crimes against humanity at the ICC.

[Scottish Sport for Palestine @ScotSport4Pal]

Listen to Rebecca O'Keeffe from @Sport4Palestine tell Al Jazeera why we plan to take @UEFA and @FIFAcom's Presidents to the ICC for aiding and abetting war crimes (transfer of a civilian population into occupied territory) and crimes against humanity (apartheid).

[Scottish Sport for Palestine @ScotSport4Pal]

Don't forget that Gianni Infantino - the man who handed Donald Trump the @FIFAcom 'Peace Prize' - was accused of aiding war crimes just days ago in a case that is being submitted to the ICC this month.

This news is being deliberately suppressed.

@AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC Interesting timing given Ceferin has just been accused of aiding war crimes and crimes against humanity along with FIFA President Infantino in a case being filed at the International Criminal Court. 👇

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

A complaint will be filed at the International Criminal Court accusing FIFA’s Infantino and UEFA’s Čeferin of aiding war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The case focuses on their approval of Israeli football clubs based in illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land 👇🏽

[Scottish Sport for Palestine @ScotSport4Pal]

People seem surprised that the FIFA 'Peace' Prize could be given to Donald Trump - yet the 2026 World Cup Task Force looks like this.

He is the Chair and his Vice President is Vice Chair.

But sure, sport 'isn't political'.

The Submitting Parties include a group of Palestinian footballers, Palestinian clubs, owners of the land, and advocacy groups (@Sport4Palestine, @ScotSport4Pal, and @AdvocatesJust).

Independent councillors have sought an independent report on the Taoiseach’s intervention against their plan to change the park’s name. https://t.co/Qd8iEHZAJ8

Irish Sport for Palestine call on the Irish Government to clarify their support of the upcoming Irish EuroBasket match vs Israel and to urgently sign the UN Convention Against Apartheid in Sport @BballIrl @sportireland @FIBA @EuroBasketWomen

[Scottish Sport for Palestine @ScotSport4Pal]

Scotland has drawn Israel in the qualifying group for the 2027 Women's World Cup.

The Scottish FA has an opportunity to boycott this.

When 3+ teams boycotted Russia in 2022, FIFA said it couldn't be argued against legally or morally. Scotland was part of that bloc.

@ScotlandNT

[Scottish Sport for Palestine @ScotSport4Pal]

Don’t forget, @MaccabiTLVFC actually broadcast its team applauding genocide (being committed by staff).

A stark example of how football is used to mutually motivate Israeli footballers and soldiers to 'win'. https://t.co/PJ3oaAzZeI

Can you imagine if this was @AVFCOfficial?

[SportAgainstGenocide @SportAgainstGen]

@RedCardGlasgow @KatVilarev @ScotSport4Pal @TippingPointorg Also suprised you don't recall this. The entire account was set up and previous actions managed by @ScotSport4Pal for months. It's the same account that you use now. But great that you are now manning things yourself!

[Scottish Sport for Palestine @ScotSport4Pal]

If @CelticFC won’t admit its role in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, then we will - at Play The Game 2025 in Finland today.

Ban Israel from UEFA & FIFA #showisraeltheredcard

[Scottish Sport for Palestine @ScotSport4Pal]

16/As Israel’s genocide in Palestine continues, the question now is will the @CelticFC board acknowledge the club’s complicity, take full responsibility for failures, and make full reparations - financial and otherwise - to Palestinians?
