PETALING JAYA (4 Nov 2015) – FIFA on Wednesday ordered Palestine to play World Cup qualifying matches against Saudi Arabia and Malaysia at neutral venues because of security fears.
A FIFA emergency bureau made the decision after the Saudis announced on Tuesday they would refuse to travel to the occupied territories for their match.
FIFA officials and Palestinian authorities met on Tuesday and “the Palestinian government confirmed that it could no longer guarantee the safety and security around the matches in question,” FIFA said in a statement.
