Ireland boycotts Eurovision 2026 over Israel's participation amid Gaza war
Deutsche Welle·IE · IL · PS·1 day ago
The BDS movement has publicly praised Irish goalkeeper Bazuno for refusing to play against Israel and called on the Irish Football Association to heed popular demands, while urging FIFA to exclude Israel from international sports. This is part of a broader campaign to isolate Israel in sports, but the immediate impact is limited to symbolic pressure. The move reflects ongoing tensions related to the Gaza conflict, though no official action by FIFA or the Irish FA has been announced.
