Fifa and Uefa have not yet responded to requests for comment on the calls for them to take action. However, Fifa previously said: “The ongoing violence in the region confirms that, above all considerations, and as stated at the 74th Fifa Congress, we need peace. As we remain extremely shocked by what is happening, and our thoughts are with those who are suffering, we urge all parties to restore peace to the region with immediate effect.
Haidar, who was described in an interview with her former coach, Joanna Hamzeh, as one of the “smartest players”, was first taken to Saint-Georges Hospital in Hadath before being transferred to Saint-George Hospital in Achrafieh, where she remains in intensive care.
