Palestine Football Association denies commenting on Ireland’s decision to face Israel at neutral venue
BEIRUT: The Palestine Football Association denied on Thursday issuing any statements or commentaries regarding the Football Association of Ireland’s decision to move its UEFA Nations League match against Israel to a neutral venue.
A PFA statement on X said: “First and foremost, the PFA have not issued any statement endorsing, approving, or supporting the decision to proceed with the match.”
The statement added that any interpretation suggesting that the PFA had given its blessing to the fixture did not accurately reflect the PFA’s position.
The statement, which cited Dima Said, the PFA’s official spokesperson, added: “The PFA maintains a long-standing principle of respecting the autonomy of fellow national associations and refraining from interference in their internal affairs or decision-making processes.”
