Turin, Aug 19 (LaPresse) – In a letter-appeal to FIGC President Gabriele Gravina, Assoallenatori has called for action in support of Gaza and requested that UEFA and FIFA be asked to suspend Israel from international competitions.
“An action that is not only symbolic, but a necessary choice responding to a moral imperative, shared by the entire leadership of AIAC,” the statement reads. “After an initial discussion within the Presidential Council, convened by Renzo Ulivieri, the National Executive Council of Assoallenatori unanimously decided to send a letter-appeal to FIGC President Gravina and all federative components, so that Italian football mobilizes within its sphere in favor of the Palestinian people, putting forward the request to be forwarded to UEFA and FIFA for the temporary suspension of Israel from international competitions.”
