FIFA president Gianni Infantino and his UEFA counterpart Aleksander Ceferin have been accused of “aiding war crimes” and “crimes against humanity in the occupied Palestinian territory” in a complaint filed at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The formal complaint - a “120-page” document filed by advocacy groups Irish Sport for Palestine, Scottish Sport for Palestine, Just Peace Advocates, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, and Sport Scholars for Justice in Palestine - was sent to the ICC Office of the Prosecutor on February 16.
As outlined in a joint statement released to The Athletic, the submitting parties also included a group of Palestinian footballers, Palestinian clubs, landowners, and a human rights organisation in Palestine.
The allegations focus on FIFA and UEFA’s “inclusion of Israeli football clubs based in illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian territory that were built on land stolen from Palestinian people”.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry says the organisation will investigate if IOC member Gianni Infantino breached the terms of its charter when attending the inaugral meeting of The Board of Peace, which was established by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Infantino, the president of football’s world governing body FIFA, appeared at the meeting in Washington D.C. on Thursday, flanked by politicans and sporting a red hat with ‘USA’ on the front and the numbers ’45-47′ – a reference to Trump’s non-consecutive presidencies.
Infantino also used the occasion to announce that FIFA had signed what he described as “a landmark partnership agreement” with The Board of Peace, which was meeting primarily to discuss plans to rebuild Gaza.

Wie ein deutscher Sportverband mit unliebsamen #Athleten umgeht und vor allem sein Führungspersonal schützen will: #Olympia2026 - Zwei #Skibergsteiger zeigen Sportdirektor von Verband an faz.net/aktuell/sport/olympi…
alpenverein.de/artikel/der-d… Dem #Alpenverein in Deutschland scheint daran zu liegen, dass sich öffentlich ein Eindruck verfestigt: Maßnahmen, die geeignet sind, allzu kritische Athletenvertreter mundtot zu machen, könnten intern ein probates Mittel sein.
Skandalöse Vorgänge im #DeutscherAlpenverein. Meine Kollegen haben das in der #ARD aufgearbeitet. Der #Skibergsteigen -Verband meint, angemessen reagiert zu haben. Allein: Trotz Kenntnis möglicher strafbarer Handlungen von Personal zog er keine öffentlich erkennbaren Konsequenzen
Neues der @DB_Presse: ICE 842. Berlin - Köln. In Berlin Durchsage: Zug verkehrt wegen "suicide" nur bis Hannover. Strecke gesperrt. Bei Ankunft in Hannover Strecke wieder frei, Zug bleibt trotzdem in Han: nun kein Personal. Lounge im HbF schließt die Bahn 21.30, kurz vor Ankunft
