Uefa raises banner saying 'stop killing children' before PSG-Tottenham match 

Before the start of the European Super Cup match between Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham in Italy, the Union of European Football Associations (Uefa) raised a banner reading: "Stop killing children... Stop killing civilians," referring to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. 

Uefa also shared the message on X : "From the UEFA Super Cup in Udine, the message is loud and clear. A banner. A call."

On 9 August, Uefa paid tribute to Palestinian footballer Suleiman al-Obeid known as the 'Palestinian Pele', following his killing. Suleiman al-Obeid was killed in an Israeli attack in southern Gaza. 

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

Uefa message did not mention the circumstances of his death, drawing criticism from thousands, including Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, who asked: “Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?”

According to the Palestinian Football Association, at least 400 footballers have been killed by Israel in Gaza. Nearly 300 sports facilities, including stadiums, gyms and club buildings, have been destroyed.
