FIFA’s Double Standards: Israel Protected, Russia Banned | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G

FIFA is once again in the spotlight for its blatant double standards. President Gianni Infantino insists that Israel cannot be banned, saying “sport should unite, not divide.” But critics are asking – why was Russia kicked out of world football within days of invading Ukraine, while Israel continues to enjoy full protection despite mounting global pressure? European federations, such as Spain, Italy, and Norway, have openly called for sanctions, yet FIFA hides behind slogans of “peace and unity.” The answer lies in Washington, where US President Donald Trump has ensured Israel’s political shield. From the 2026 World Cup in America to Saudi Arabia’s 2034 bid, FIFA has proven that money and politics come first, football second. Rupha Ramani exposes how Infantino’s hypocrisy is eroding the credibility of the beautiful game.
