Ramallah, Palestinian Territories: The Palestinian Football Association will not drop its bid to have its Israeli counterpart suspended from FIFA, the organisation's chief said Wednesday after talks with the head of world football's governing body.
"We will keep the proposal on the agenda (of the upcoming FIFA Congress) for sincere and open discussions by the FIFA member associations," Jibril Rajoub said at a joint press conference with FIFA chief Sepp Blatter. "There will be no compromising on free movement of our athletes and officials."
