URGENT: Israel has ordered the demolition of our football pitch! This is the only place we feel free, where we play, belong - even with the separation wall looming. FIFA and UEFA Presidents can use their influence to pressure Israel to stop this, but only if the world is watching. Bulldozers could come any day now: Sign to help us reach football's top leaders to save our pitch: We're writing from the Aida refugee camp, near Bethlehem. Our football pitch means the world to us. It's where we train, laugh, and feel like any kid. There we can forget, even for a moment, about hatred and violence. It's a rare place of safety amid frequent Israeli military incursions, often involving tear gas, rubber bullets, and live ammunition. But now, Israeli authorities want to take it from us, and bulldozers could arrive at any moment to destroy it. We only have days - and you can help: If thousands of people around the world speak up, football fans, players, and athletes will follow. People like Infantino and Čeferin, presidents of FIFA and UEFA, won't be able to look away anymore - and they have enough influence to tip the scale and stop Israel's brutality. Sign now and share our call to Gianni Infantino & Aleksander Čeferin:

Our football pitch means the world to us. It's where we train, laugh, and feel like any kid.
There we can forget, even for a moment, about hatred and violence. It's a rare place of safety amid frequent Israeli military incursions, often involving tear gas, rubber bullets, and live ammunition.
But now, Israeli authorities want to take it from us, and bulldozers could arrive at any moment to destroy it.
We only have days - and you can help: If thousands of people around the world speak up, football fans, players, and athletes will follow. People like Infantino and Čeferin, presidents of FIFA and UEFA, won't be able to look away anymore - and they have enough influence to tip the scale and stop Israel's brutality.
Sign now and share our call to Gianni Infantino & Aleksander Čeferin: | | | | | More than 250 of us train here every week, through Aida Youth Center's football academy. For many of us, it is the happiest part of the week.
Some of our girls have even represented Palestine and won third place at the West Asian U-14 Football Championship, and many of our players have reached professional teams. But most of all, this pitch gives us childhood.
This pitch is our space to breathe in a camp surrounded by walls and watchtowers.
Please don't let bulldozers crush our goalposts - not while the world is watching. | | | | With love and hope,
The children of Aida camp, with Aida Youth Center and Avaaz | | | | | | |
