Pretty sure no Western media wrote or will write something about this:
"The president of the Iranian Football Federation says the body has demanded that FIFA expel the Israeli regime from the body over its deadly imposed war against the Islamic Republic last month, which featured deadly and destructive attacks on Iranian athletes and sports-related facilities.
Mehdi Taj made the remarks in a televised interview on Monday, saying the federation has conveyed the request in a letter addressed to Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, senior vice-president of the #FIFA Council.
“[The Israelis] attacked our territorial integrity, they attacked the Football Federation itself, they attacked the national team’s training camp, and they martyred our referee,” he said.
“Thirty of our country’s [football] players suffered injuries during the attacks,” the official added.
“We wrote that a decision must be made on this matter. We also wrote to FIFA, itself, stating that Israel should be shown a red card and expelled from the body.""
