Switzerland: "We want a motion, Israel expulsion" sing FIFA protesters

A group Palestine supporters gathered outside the 65th FIFA congress, demanding the expulsion of Israel from international football's governing body, in Zurich on Friday. The protesters chanted and held up placards stating ‘Zionism equals Racism’ and ‘Football against Apartheid’. Earlier in the day activists managed to enter the congress hall, also calling for the expulsion of Israel. A motion to suspend Israel from FIFA has been put forward by the Palestinian delegation and a vote is being held in congress Friday. Palestine cited travel restrictions imposed by Israel on Palestinian players as the reason for its request. The 65th congress is taking place amid bribery and corruption allegations against FIFA. Nine FIFA officials and four executives of sports management firms have been arrested and FIFA’s headquarters were raided where electronic data was seized, Wednesday.
