Amman, January 12 (Petra) — His Highness Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, President of the West Asian Football Federation, reaffirmed the federation’s unwavering support for the Palestinian Football Association’s demand to host its matches on home soil while standing in solidarity with the Palestinian federation against the occupying state’s campaign targeting it.

During a meeting with the President of the Palestinian Football Association, Jibril Rajoub, in Amman on Sunday, Prince Ali emphasized the importance of continued coordination between the West Asian Federation and the Palestinian Federation.

The meeting also addressed the mechanisms, procedures, and timeline of FIFA’s ongoing investigation into Israeli violations against Palestinian sports, which is being carried out by FIFA’s Disciplinary, Compliance, and Governance Committees.

Rajoub detailed the persistent harassment and incitement campaigns by the occupying state, which he said aim to obscure its increasing crimes. He highlighted that over 368 football players, including 95 children, have been killed, and Gaza’s sports infrastructure has been extensively damaged.
