UEFA and FIFA's Russia ban contrasted with treatment of Israel

Original: ⭕️ #L'UEFA et #FIFAcom ont suspendu la #Russie dans les 72 heures suivant son invasion illégale de #l'Ukraine 3 ans aprè

Three years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, criticism is resurfacing that UEFA and FIFA suspended Russia from international football within 72 hours of the illegal invasion, while Israel continues to compete despite the ongoing war in Gaza. Critics accuse European football's governing bodies of applying sanctions selectively and protecting Israel from comparable sporting exclusion.

Why now: The third anniversary of Russia's invasion has revived comparisons over how sporting bodies punish aggressors differently.
