John,

Israel has killed nearly 40,000 people in Gaza since October 7, and for over fifty years, it has consistently violated international law in Palestine. These crimes can’t go unpunished, and Israel’s colonialism can’t be normalized by international sports authorities.

That’s why more than 360,000 people have signed our petition urging FIFA to ban Israel, just as it did with Russia, South Africa, and Yugoslavia in the past. This massive public outcry has already forced FIFA to seek legal counsel and schedule an extraordinary meeting in two weeks to make its decision.

Now more than ever, we need your help to amplify this call for justice and peace. Join our urgent appeal and help us reach 500,000 signatures before we deliver our message to FIFA next week:

Tell FIFA: ban Israel now!

The Israeli government continues to bomb and starve people in Gaza — killing over 37,000 people. According to UNICEF, 1 in 3 children in northern Gaza are acutely malnourished.

FIFA claims to stay neutral and use football to bring nations together, but in reality it has punished repressive regimes in the past like when it suspended Russia after it invaded Ukraine, and South Africa for its racist apartheid system.

Letting Israel play in FIFA games creates a double-standard for the football association, and signals to the world that the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza is accepted on the global stage.

But FIFA is seeking legal council now and will make a decision on July 20. Time is running out for us to show FIFA that people all over the world are urging it to ban Israel. Add your name to the call and forward this widely — let’s get to 500,000 signers before next week:

Tell FIFA: ban Israel now!

After Israel's 9-day siege on Gaza in 2021, 140,000 of us called one of the world’s biggest sports brands, PUMA, to drop its sponsorship of the Israel Football Association. We met with PUMA’s CEO to deliver our message, and thanks to our collective pressure and the tireless work of Palestinian solidarity activists over the years, PUMA quietly ended its relationship with Israel’s Football Federation last year, months after Israel’s current invasion.

Let’s do it again, and get FIFA to ban Israel until Israel's army stops killing Palestinians.
