"The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has approved a resolution to submit a formal motion to Uefa urging it to ban Israel from European club and international competitions. The governing body's resolution proposed by the Dublin club Bohemians cited alleged violations by the Israel Football Association (IFA) of two provisions of Uefa statutes. They are its alleged failure to implement and enforce an effective anti-racism policy and the organisation of clubs in occupied Palestinian territories without the consent of the Palestinian FA."
"The resolution was backed by 74 votes, with seven opposed and two abstentions, the FAI said in a statement. Uefa has yet to comment on the vote. Uefa never officially confirmed that it was considering an extraordinary meeting of its executive committee to vote on the issue, but plans on the proposal were understood to be well developed, with any meeting expected to have been called at short notice."
The Football Association of Ireland approved a resolution to submit a formal motion to UEFA urging suspension of the Israel Football Association from UEFA competitions.

The resolution passed by 74 votes in favour, seven against and two abstentions. The FAI intends to submit the formal motion to the UEFA executive committee requesting immediate suspension. UEFA has not commented and earlier paused related plans in late September.
