The Palestine Football Association (PFA) has denied a reported plan for a FIFA under-15s match between Palestine and Israel.

Reports earlier this week had suggested that the football world governing body was keen to schedule the two sides to play the opening fixture of a new annual youth tournament that's set to kick off its first edition later this year.

The competition will be open to boys' and girls' teams from all 211 FIFA Member Associations, including Russia.
