Take Action During the Ireland v genocidal Israel Nations League match!
UEFA and the Football Association of Ireland moved today’s match to Serbia to avoid mass protests.
That won’t stop us!
Let’s keep the focus on Palestinians and Israel’s ongoing genocide and apartheid rule.
Join our social media storm Sunday, October 4, from 8-9pm Palestine time, just before the kick off of the match, which shouldn’t be happening at all.
See sample tweets/posts and images below.

UEFA and FIFA suspended Russia within 72 hours of its illegal invasion of Ukraine. 3 years into Israel’s ongoing genocide against Indigenous Palestinians in Gaza, corrupt UEFA continues to shield genocidal Israel from accountability.
Join the campaign! #BanIsrael #StopTheGame

Genocidal Israel has killed 1,000+ Palestinian sportspeople.
Complicit @UEFA still fails to sanction apartheid Israel.
Let’s peacefully disrupt matches until sporting bodies #BanIsrael. Let’s pressure federations and teams to refuse to play against it.

Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, including 568 footballers.
Meanwhile, corrupt UEFA elected Israel to its Executive Committee…during its genocide! And federations like @IrelandFootball continue to play against Israel.

Ireland goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu took a courageous and selfless stand, boycotting both matches with genocidal Israel.
Bazunu said, “There are few times where you get a chance in life to stand up for something bigger and I strongly believe that this is one of them.”

The months-long people-powered #StopTheGame campaign kept Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza center field, making it an int’l story.
250+ Irish athletes, trade unions, sports journalists and personalities, 140 pubs and political parties urged Ireland not to play.

Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza has destroyed 256 sporting facilities, including stadiums.
The stadiums, once rare places of collective joy in the Gaza concentration camp, were used as torture & detention centers & defiled by Israeli soldiers.

Israeli fans chanted support for Israel’s genocidal military during the first leg of the #NationsLeague matches.
Yet another reason @UEFA and the Football Association of Ireland should not have gone ahead with the second match. SHAME!

The Israel Football Assoc:
Includes teams in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land
Created a Reservist League of 100s of soldiers who served in the Gaza genocide
Has dedicated matches, and its clubs have sent care packages, to the same soldiers.
