The Trump administration will work to prevent FIFA banning Israel from international football ahead of the 2026 World Cup, Sky News can reveal.
Sky News has also learnt that European governing body UEFA is heading towards its own decision to suspend Israeli teams over the war in Gaza – with many FAs and members of the executive committee understood to favour that.
Football’s world and European governing bodies were urged this week by United Nations (UN) advisory experts to impose sporting sanctions.
