UEFA pays tribute to Palestinian footballer killed in Gaza

The union for European football, UEFA, paid a brief tribute on Friday to Palestinian footballer from Gaza, Suleiman al-Obeid.

Obeid was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza while attempting to collect food aid for his family earlier this week.

Uefa did not name his killers or say how he was killed.

"Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times," Uefa wrote on X.
