Concurrent with April 6, which has been designated as the “International Day of Sport for Development and Peace,” a grassroots campaign has been launched against the U.S. president.

Avash News: The text of the campaign states that football is the world’s shared language, but when schools and sports gyms are bombed, silence amounts to complicity in crime.
Ahead of the 2026 World Cup,  simple questions are raised for all:

• Is it possible to choose a country as the host of the games that kills girl volleyball players with prohibited weapons?
• Is it possible to regard a country as a host of the World Cup that destroys sports gyms and sports infrastructure?
• Football belongs to peace, not to warmongers.

For this reason, people around the world, particularly football fans, raise a red card:
Red card to Trump
Red card to child killing
Red card to silence

We ask FIFA to:
• Cancel the U.S. as the host of the games
• Investigate alleged war crimes conducted by Trump’s administration, particularly the bombing of Minab school and the killing of 167 children and their teachers, at the International Criminal Court
• Issue a statement condemning the bombing of sports facilities
• Ban Trump from all stadiums that host football matches in protest against his war-seeking behavior, which is opposed to the principles of fair play in football

April 6, the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, is a day that emphasizes friendship and peace, but the war-seeking policies attributed to Trump, including the bombing of schools and gyms in Iran and the killing of athletes, are described as a blatant violation of this global cause.
The World Cup is a symbol of unity, not a means of whitewashing child killing.

Football wants peace, not war.
All athletes, coaches, sports activists, sports journalists, and media activists are invited to join the campaign before it is too late and express their stance regarding this anti-human behavior and this anti-peace figure.
