Amnesty stages 'End Genocide' protest at Austria-Israel Nations League match

Amnesty International Austria staged an "End Genocide" protest during an Austria-Israel Nations League match in Linz, Austria. The protest featured a banner displaying the same message and aimed to call for UEFA and FIFA to suspend the Israel Football Association (IFA) due to evidence supporting Israel's support of illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Campaigner Alexander Weihrauch stated that the protest was directed against governments and sporting authorities that know about the situation in Gaza but do nothing to stop what he called "genocide." Amnesty International had previously urged FIFA and UEFA in October 2025 to suspend the IFA unless settlement-based clubs were excluded from Israeli leagues, a request that was rejected by FIFA in March 2026.
