UEFA decided last September to reverse the ban, but the FAI said that it wanted to maintain the position, such was the seriousness of the breach of international law by Russia. UEFA took a decision on reversing the ban and the FAI took a decision outside of that, so the FAI went out on its own. Is there a level of hypocrisy in the FAI’s position? It has rightly taken a stand on Russia and Belarus but has not taken a stand on Israel’s breach of international law.
