According to European media, an extraordinary vote on Israel's eligibility to participate in the 2026 World Cup is being pushed forward, although the Israeli Football Association denies it, and UEFA insists the official meeting will only take place in December. Many sources indicate the possibility of an emergency meeting concerning Israel due to increasing pressure from various sides.

Israel is currently a UEFA member instead of an AFC member. The team finished third in Group I of the World Cup qualifiers, behind Italy on goal difference. However, all their efforts on the field risk becoming meaningless if their membership is reviewed.

Israeli media reports that football officials in the country are actively lobbying for support from sports alliances to prevent the worst-case scenario. Several European countries, including Germany and Hungary, are reportedly prepared to oppose the vote.

To date, neither UEFA, FIFA, nor the relevant football federations have issued an official comment. But it is clear that Israel's presence at the 2026 World Cup is under unprecedented pressure.
