, this match was held in the collaboration of the Basque Football Federation and the Palestinian Football Federation.
In addition to being a warning place for victims in Gaza, this match is also considered as proof of Palestinian football that continues to survive in the midst of prolonged conflict.
Before this match was announced, solidarity with Palestine was also seen at the Athletic Bilbao headquarters.During the Champions League opening match against Arsenal, supporters raised large banners with a Palestinian flag accompanied by writing in Basque: “We will be by your side from today until the last day.”
Conflicts in Gaza cause various reactions in the world.Spain is one of the European countries that openly supports Palestine.
Last year, the Spanish government officially recognized Palestine as a sovereign country.Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez even loudly condemned the Israeli military action that killed thousands of civilians.
A similar attitude is seen in other sports events.La Vuelta A Espana bicycle racing which was stopped early because of massive protests related to the participation of the Israeli team.

For Palestine, the match against the Basque team is not just a soccer match.This is the stage of international solidarity, a symbol of resistance, as well as the hope that football can be a voice for those who lose their families and homeland due to Israeli attacks.
