NEW: Swiss politicians are pushing to *revoke* UEFA's tax-exempt status.
UEFA got exemption for "promoting peace" — which officials argue isn't being met due to UEFA taking no action against the Israeli Football Association.
Am told *45* of 200 Swiss MPs are already signed on.

![#GameOverIsrael: Switzerland Could Revoke UEFA Tax Exemption Over Israel
Swiss MPs argue citizens should not be forced to be complicit in Israel’s illegal occupation through UEFA
Today Swiss local and national parliamentarians called for a vote on the subject of revoking UEFA's tax exemption. The legislators leading the effort cite the 19 July 2024 ruling by the ICJ which confirmed that Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian land in the West Bank. They argue that since the Israeli Football Association (IFA), which fields football teams on that land, continues to enjoy membership in UEFA, UEFA’s legal standing and associated tax advantages in Switzerland where it is headquartered, are in question. Tax exoneration means that instead of receiving that money, Swiss citizens, specifically in Vaud, are funding the illegal activities of the Israeli football Association (IFA).
The resolution states:
“As an international federation, it [UEFA] has long benefited, despite its significant commercial activity, from a tax exemption granted specifically because international sports federations play an important role in promoting peace and combating racism and discrimination.
UEFA has long placed these concerns at the heart of its decisions. Its commitment to peace, for example, was among the motivations cited in support of sanctions adopted by the organisation following Russia's aggression against Ukraine. However, it is clear that this objective is not being pursued today.”
“UEFA enjoys preferential tax treatment in Switzerland. This comes with certain obligations, including promoting the values of peace. A double standard is unacceptable. While UEFA has rightly chosen to sanction Russian teams, it has taken no action or measures against Israel to date.” – Raphaël Mahaim, member of the National Council of Switzerland
“Today, on 10 December (International Human Rights Day) Swiss and cantonal authorities will start the debate on the continuation of UEFA’s privileged tax sta…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pwsjq3xnal6auzgeqho4ecw7/bafkreihufdzeocg3vktn66mxl7fyurqtosddhy7s34ed7sasndkpnv4h7q@jpeg)
