RCIR tell Fifa: Stop Kicking Palestine
Red Card Israeli Racism slam Infantino over lack of action

Red Card Israeli Racism (RCIR) launched a blistering attack on Fifa’s Monitoring Committee Israel-Palestine after its chair Tokyo Sexwale missed another report deadline.

Sexwale was appointed head of the group at the start of the year, tasked by Fifa’s council to end Israel’s football clubs located in illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

However, in a statement released to the Star, RCIR said that not only has Sexwale not produced the report but he is yet to meet with the two associations’ representatives and is unlikely to do so before late March.
