Palestinian Football Association President Jibril Rajoub sai

Palestinian Football Association President Jibril Rajoub said he has not received entry visas to the United States to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Rajoub stated that granting visas to World Cup participants is a right guaranteed under FIFA regulations, not a privilege, and argued that denying him entry reflects a lack of respect for both FIFA and the unifying values of sport.

So far the USA have now refused over 1,500 different applicants giving many no reasons at all.

The whole taunement set up as been a chambles from the start? Now the I.O.C need to take a long look at whether games should be in usa as trump will still be there and the chances of being banned is very high for athletes and their relatives!
Look forward to republicans being ousted... maybe we'll then get a bit of sanity in the world .

He talks about lack of respect, but he refuses to shake the Israeli delegate's hand. That can be seen as lack of respect, even though I don't agree with the decisions of the Israeli government.

I also don't see why he should be there. Palestine aren't in the World Cup.

Sounds like he's just said this to get himself a few headlines.

Ned Ukraine don't shake Russian Belarus sports persons hands why? Same palistinians... so your wrong to criticise him for that
How many fifa delegates are at WC? Well fifa reserved 11k hotel rooms so I'm guessing every last one of fifa members are there on a jolly so why not palistine? Israelis there but they should be banned like Russia? Why do you think palistinian member stopped from going? Nothing to do with Israel I suppose..... but seeing as they've got their grubby hands on everyone else it's a fair bet they influenced trump

To be fair I've just read the whole thing and he was allowed into Mexico for the first game so it's just the US.

If he's entitled to be there as a delegate then he should be allowed to. But if so, I find it weird that a delegate of an FA that don't even have a team in the tournament are entitled to be there. Wouldn't expect Noel Mooney to be invited.

Still think he's doing this for a cheap headline.

Agree about headline bit but he's entitled to be there ..... but banning all the different fans.... delegate's of countries ect is against the ethos of the WC its lost its appeal to many footy fans ....wonder if there's more shenanigans to come suspect will be.

Honest Answer ?

I'm not defending Israel at all, I'm just saying this is what FIFA and the US would say to him - given they both back Israel.

Don't forget the Palestine FA President once bombed Israelis and was sentenced to life in prison. Only reason he's not still there is because of a prisoner exchange. So it's not like he's a saint.

Every Palestinian is a Saint

As it’s Israel and USA who have kept them Since 1949 as Prisoners with No rights at all.

They decided it’s time we fought back


Israel have currently 11,700 Palestinian Hostages

And Remember it’s Palestinian land

That wouldn't be a surprise ned!
But Given trumps popularity (badly booed other day) i wonder if he would actually attend final?
