Spain Threatens To Boycott 2026 World Cup If Isreal Qualifies by dominique(mod): 11:30am On Sep 18, 2025
Spanish government officials have threatened that their national team might not play in next year’s World Cup if Israel qualify.

According to the spokesperson for the prominent Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party, Patxi Lopez, they would “assess” the situation if it came to pass.

Earlier this week, a United Nations, UN, commission of inquiry ruled that Israel committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel have not qualified for the World Cup since 1970, but stand a chance of qualifying for next year’s expanded tournament.

They sit in third place in their UEFA qualifying group, level on points with Italy who occupy the play-off spot, having played one game more than the Azzurris.

Lopez said: “We will assess the situation at the right time.

“What we want is for people to realize that if Israeli teams cannot take part in sporting events or Eurovision, some are starting to open their eyes.”

STOP mixIng football with politics! The players worked hard for that qualification, let them play! If the football governing bodies are allowing genocidal terrorists play in competitions, don't let your players suffer for their indiscretion.

MADNESS!

Politics is ALL-ENCOMPASSING.

You CANNOT nickel and dime genocide.

If the right hand is STABBING you with a dagger, it's MADNESS to shake the left hand.

They are ONE and the same.

Most RUSSIANS have NOT done an illegal thing in their life BUT they must all bear the CONSEQUENCES of Putin's actions.

Genocide 🤣🤣🤣🤣, follow history and know what truly happens,
Genocides is biko Haram slaughtering the Northern part of the country, And GEJ stepping up against them back and the entire North ganging against him


That's the situation of Israel and Palestine,

This time it involves an independent country,
With boko Haram ( Hamas ) lunching an attack against Israel, murdering and kidnapping their citizens,

And when GEJ ( Israel ) returns the Favour, Palestine ( everyone ) start shouting Genocides,


Release the hostages, let them go, and come to the table for Peace they are dragging foota
It's not as if Israel is holding even 1 Palestinian hostage too

More than half of world leaders are calling out Isreal as a genocidal country but you're here whipping out some Boko haram balderdash. Are you saying you know better than them or you're right they're wrong?

Abeg FIFA, just in case The Super Eagles dont make it, give us Spain's spot if Israel qualifies eventually. Thank you. 😄

Spain's Government should kindly follow through on the boycott threat when/if Israel punches that WC Ticket. I am sure teams like France, Argentina, Germany and co will be glad to see one dominant competitor out of the way.

Russia was the aggressor and they got banned, Spain isn't. The sport governing bodies should act accordingly and not make players lose this once in a lifetime opportunity to represent their country in front of the world.

Please they should boycott it, people will be dragging politics into sports, please FIFA should hand them 10 years ban immediately, no country in the world should be disqualified or denied the rights to play any international competition because of politics, except the players committed an offense...

Good. Sane societies should let the world know that they are against the genocide in Gaza.

The protest currently going on in france against that terrorists supporter of a president, Macron would be child play compared to what the Spinard would do to their president should they try such.

All european presidents that are on the side of terrorists are getting it hot in their country. God is indeed with Israel.

I pray Israel qualify for the WC to put all their enemies to shame and as a sign for them to do their worst. Am sure the MASSAD are fully ready for them in USA, MEXICO and CANADA

They shouldn't try such Nonsense, except they want to pave way for PENDU to clinch that trophy. Inconsequential countries can quit but not Spain, Germany, Holland, Italy, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, and Morocco.
Pendu must not take Bronze, not to talk of Silver.
