Mohammad Salah blasts UEFA for silence on Gaza after footballer death
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is facing sharp criticism after a social media tribute to a killed Palestinian footballer, Suleiman al-Obeid, was perceived as intentionally omitting the circumstances of his death. The post, which honored al-Obeid as "the 'Palestinian Pelé'," was immediately challenged by global football star Mohamed Salah, who publicly demanded details about the athlete's death. Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times. — UEFA (@UEFA) August 8, 2025 On a Friday, UEFA's official account on the social media platform X posted a tribute celebrating al-Obeid as "a talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times". The post, however, provided no details about the cause of his death. This stood in stark contrast to a statement from the Palestine Football Association (PFA), which said the 41-year-old was killed on a Wednesday in southern Gaza by an "Israeli strike targeting civilians waiting for humanitarian aid". Liverpool and Egypt star Mohamed Salah responded to UEFA's post by quote-tweeting: "Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?" Can you tell us how he died, where, and why? — Mohamed Salah (@MoSalah) August 9, 2025 The incident has highlighted a long-standing critique of UEFA's policy of avoiding political statements in football. Human rights groups have accused the organization of "dangerous double standards," noting its swift decision to suspend most Russian teams after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine while its Secretary General, Theodore Theodoridis, has refused to consider similar action against 'Israeli' teams. The PFA has also reported that al-Obeid's death is part of a broader toll on Palestinian sports, with at least 662 athletes and their relatives, including 421 footballers, killed since the conflict began.

Hypocrisy? Ukraine demands Jordan ditch Russia match after siding against 'Israel' ban
The Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) has formally called on the Jordanian Football Association (JFA) to cancel a planned friendly match between their men's national team and Russia, scheduled for September 4, 2025, in Moscow. The move, however, has ignited a debate in regional sporting circles, with critics pointing to what they call a "glaring double standard" in international football politics. In an official letter sent to FIFA, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), UEFA, and the JFA, the Ukrainian body condemned the planned match, citing the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia as well as a ban imposed by FIFA and UEFA in February 2022 that prevents Russian teams from participating in official international competitions. "The brutal war of aggression continues. Russia kills peaceful Ukrainians every day," the UAF letter stated. "Holding international matches with the participation of representatives of the aggressor country is a direct violation not only of the decisions of the governing bodies but also of the basic principles of humanity, peace, and respect for life." The UAF expressed "particular concern" over a series of recent or planned fixtures involving Jordanian and Russian teams, including a friendly between the Jordan national team and Russian club Zenit in Qatar on January 21, 2025, and a women's national team match in the UAE on February 26, 2025. However, the upcoming men's match in Moscow was singled out as the most shocking."The planned match of the men's national teams on the territory of a terrorist state surpasses all of the above," the letter declared, calling it "unacceptable from a moral and political point of view." While the UAF's appeal is rooted in the principle of international solidarity, it has been met with sharp criticism and accusations of hypocrisy. Commentators and football officials in the Middle East were quick to point to the 74th FIFA Congress held in May 2024. At that congress, the Jordanian and Palestinian Football Associations led a proposal to have the 'Israeli' Football Association suspended from FIFA due to the ongoing aggression in Gaza and issues regarding teams in 'Israeli' settlements. That proposal did not receive the backing of many European federations, including Ukraine. Critics now argue that while the UAF is demanding Jordan adhere to a political boycott of Russia, it was unwilling to offer the same solidarity to the Jordanian and Palestinian cause just a year prior. This perceived inconsistency has become the central focus of the debate. An official familiar with the discussions, speaking on condition of anonymity, noted the "uncomfortable irony" of the situation. "You cannot ask for solidarity on one hand and deny it with the other. The Jordanian FA is being asked to take a strong political stance that the Ukrainian FA itself was not willing to take on an issue of immense importance to our region." The original FIFA and UEFA ban explicitly covers competitive matches, such as World Cup qualifiers and the UEFA Nations League. Friendly matches have occupied a grey area, with Russia managing to schedule games against several nations in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East since the ban was enacted. The Ukrainian FA has urged all governing bodies to
