Football Notes: Palestine FA Asks FIFA To Sanction Israel For 'Bullying'

Palestine FA President Jibril Al Rajoub called on FIFA to sanction Israel and show them "the red card" after Israeli soldiers stormed his organization’s offices last week. Al Rajoub said he had “had enough of what he called ‘bullying’ by Israel and believes heavy penalties should be given” to the country's FA (REUTERS, 11/30). ... The Paris St. Germain Foundation has collaborated with Teach For India fellows Delhi to promote "Khel Khel Mein League," an initiative that “aims at the holistic development” of children in New Delhi through football (GOAL, 11/25). ... Romanian prosecutors from the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) have launched a probe into the two main shareholders of the Romanian club Petrolul Ploiesti, Daniel and Nicolae Capra, and Marius Bucuroiu, the side's general manager. The three club officials were “arrested together with four others” on the suspicion of tax evasion and money laundering. According to estimates released by the directorate, the suspects “caused the Romanian state an aggregate damage” of €15.4M ($19.2M) (INSIDE FOOTBALL WORLD, 11/27).
