Manchester City midfielder Caroline Weir has called on football's governing bodies to address questions regarding Israel's participation in international competitions. The Scotland international spoke out after scoring a stunning chip in City's 3-0 Women's Super League derby victory over Manchester United.
Weir's comments come amid growing scrutiny of Israel's football ties. She stated that Fifa and Uefa need to provide clarity on the issue, though she did not elaborate on specific concerns. The 25-year-old's remarks have added to the debate surrounding the political dimensions of the sport.
On the pitch, City's win saw them leapfrog United into second place in the WSL, two points behind leaders Chelsea. Weir's 84th-minute goal sealed the victory, capping a dominant display by Gareth Taylor's side.
