On Thursday the International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) announced that it has postponed its decision on whether to suspend the Israeli soccer team due to the ongoing conflict with the Hamas group. 

With this announcement, it is confirmed that the Israeli men's national team will participate in the Paris Olympic Games that begin this month.

In Paris the team will face teams like Japan, Mali and Paraguay in the group stage. Their first match is against Mali, on July 24. 

You must face the challenge without Daniel Peretz, goalkeeper of the national team and also its captain, as well as a Bayern Munich player, who suffered an injury to the muscle tendon in his thigh that leaves him out of the competition. 

FIFA was originally expected to make a decision this Saturday at an extraordinary council meeting, but the body extended the process, explaining that “more time is needed to conclude this process with due care and thoroughness.”

  1. FIFA double standards all against Israel, soon the world will realize that Israel is doing the world a favor by fighting Islamic extremist groups like Hamas. The stupidity of FIFA could not be greater as they are blind to the reality that exists in the world.
