The Palestinian Football Association has rejected a proposal by FIFA to hold a symbolic opening match between Palestine's and 'Israel's under-15 teams.

According to reports, the Palestinian Football Association declined the proposal due to deeply strained relations with the 'Israeli' side and the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
