Sinn Féin is to bring a motion before the Dáil calling on the Government to support a boycott of Ireland's forthcoming soccer internationals against Israel, according to a report from the Irish Examiner on May 30, 2026.
The motion, which has not yet been debated, urges the Irish government to refuse participation in matches against the Israeli national team, citing ongoing conflict in Gaza. The exact date of the Dáil debate has not been confirmed.
As of May 30, 2026, no official response from the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) or the Irish government has been reported. The FAI has previously stated it follows UEFA and FIFA guidelines on international fixtures.
