FIFA removed Israel from the official FIFA World Cup hospitality booking website and replaced it with the phrase “Occupied Palestinian Territories.”
In the updated list, Israel will now need to select “Palestine” in order to successfully order tickets for the World Cup, which begins in November. As is the norm, countries can only participate after registering via the official FIFA World Cup booking website.
In accordance with the signed agreement with FIFA, Qatar is required to treat every nation equally, without deleting their names or flags, but fans have called for the ban of Israel amidst the conflict with Palestine, similar to the ban on Russia.
