The Israeli settler stateβs systematic assault on Palestine, in collaboration with the U.S. and its allies, is normalizing fascism on a global scale. We must fight this on all fronts, including in the world of sports.
Sporting events cannot be allowed to whitewash genocide and fascist ideologies like Zionism. We will not allow impunity and the normalization of fascism define the accepted morality of this historic moment.
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, football/soccer becomes a crucial battleground. We insist that the pitch is not separate from politics; it is a powerful platform where legitimacy is granted and where global solidarity can be mobilized for liberation, for Palestine, against fascism and zionism, and against the zionist settler state.
To mark the start of this campaign, on September 29, 2025, the Anti-Zionist Football Coalition will be bringing together some of the most prominent voices against sportswashing together to demand FIFA ban/suspend Israel and the U.S. from World Cup participation until they comply with international law. Speakers in this webinar will address how zionist/fascist sportswashing can be countered in international football and other sporting events.
Register for the webinar (bit.ly/KickOutIsrael) to learn how we can collectively use the power of football to oppose fascism by demanding that FIFA ban Israel and the United States, including as a host and participant in the World Cup.
The list of confirmed speakers include: @leylahamed (host/moderator), @abubakerabedw, @georgegallowayofficial, Kat Vilarev, @ajamubaraka, @footybedsheets, @rogerwaters, @nkalamb, Jill Thomson @scottishsportforpalestine , Bram Hanekom @africa4palestine, @dmcddenny, Robert Wilson. More speakers might be added at a later date.
