Time to take action against fifa & uae league

Thank you everyone for ur kind words

[Kaveh11]

It might not just be a sponsorship issue, as even in the "Country Info" page and under "Neighbouring seas and oceans" it does not mention Persian Gulf and only mentions Sea of Oman.

http://www.fifa.com/associations/ass...untryInfo.html


So the problem might be a bit more deeply rooted. Under Iran's page there is also the same issue. So this might be the first thing they will want to fix with all Persian Gulf neighboring countries before advancing to correct the name of uae league.

Dear Sir/Madam

I was offended to notice the deliberate omission of the Persian Gulf as a neighbouring sea on the "country info"-page for the countries that are bordering it: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Iran.

The term "Persian Gulf" has been used to label the waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula since the time of geographers Strabo and Ptolemy. More than 2000 ancient books and maps belonging to the past three millennia proof that this is the correct nomenclature. These maps are listed in the book "Persian Gulf: Atlas Of Old & Historical Maps (3000BC - 2000AD)".

This fact is acknowledged by the following authoritative institutions, which officially recognize "Persian Gulf" as the correct name:

1) United Nations: A group of experts on geographical names was set up by the UN secretary-general in 1959, which in 2006 in Vienna endorsed "Persian Gulf" as the official name for this body of water. The group further declared that "any change, destruction, or alteration of the names registered in historical deeds and maps is like the destruction of ancient works and is considered as an improper action".

2) The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO): An international body for provision of hydrographic information for world-wide marine navigation and other purposes, uses the name "Gulf of Iran (Persian Gulf)" for this body of water. This is outlined in reference S-23 (Limits of Oceans and Seas), section 41.

3) The United Kingdom government's Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for Official British Use (PCGN) has endorsed the "Persian Gulf" as the correct name for this body of water.


Consequently, FIFA's deliberate omission of the "Persian Gulf" is not only a direct attack on the national identity of every Iranian, but an attack against history itself - an act with which a respectable organization should not be associated. Rest assured that complaints of this nature will continue until FIFA correctly lists "Persian Gulf" as a neighbouring sea to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Iran.

Please respond immediately and accordingly.

Not very useful
FIFAs answer to my mail:

www.FIFA.com

The response to this garbage reply would be : if the French League officially changes its name to the "French Channel League" to politically attack England with changing the name of a channel that has always been the English Channel, would Fifa simply accept that as well?

Dear Sir, Mam

A question:

If the French League officially changes its name to the "French Channel League" to politically attack England with changing the name of a body of water that has always been the English Channel, would Fifa simply accept that as the new name for the French League?

If the answer is no then why has FIFA accepted the UAE league's new name , the Arab Gulf league, which is a made up name for a geographical entity to politically attack another country. Fifa should review moves like this to keep politics out of the sport.

I mean can any member of FIFA decide to name their league with a made up name of an actual geographical entity. Can the Turkish League name their league the "League of Cypress" to claim Cypress is part of turkey and hence attack the Greeks in this way????

Please respond and present this to people in FIFA that are responsible for monitoring FIFA Members' League organization.

Arseces jan, thank you for all your hard work. Really appreciate all your work regarding this matter.

Also big thanks to all the other dear members on this forum who have been phoning and e-mailing.

Does anyone here have a legal background? Can they check the FIFA regulations for any law that could counter this whole sponsor/name fiasco?

Lets start our second round of protest towards FIFA

Dear Sir/Madam,
I was concerned to notice, the incorrect proliferation of the term 'Arabian Gulf' in your website as the name for UAE League. Link:http://www.fifa.com/world-match-cent...090/index.html

Please note that the term 'Arabian Gulf' was first coined by Pan-Arab nationalists in the 1960s as an offensive and racist term used primarily to irritate their Iranian neighbours. This is an inflammatory term, and an attack on Iran's national Identity and sovereignty, its a political agenda with which FIFA should not be associated.

In stark contrast, The Persian Gulf and its equivalents in different languages have been continuously used for 3000 years in all languages, cultures, and civilizations across the world. More than 2000 ancient literature, books and maps belonging to the past three millennium contain this name as proof of the Persian Gulf as the correct nomenclature.

The correct, legal, terminology recognized by the United Nations is the 'Persian Gulf'.
The group of experts on Geographical Names was set up by the secretary-general of the United Nations in pursuance of economic and Social council resolution 715A(XXVII) on April 23, 1959 and has endorsed 'Persian Gulf' as the official name for this body of water.

The use of the name 'Arabian Gulf' was described to be 'faulty' by the eighth United Nations conference on the standardization of Geographical names, Berlin, 27 August September 2002.

FIFA's inaction regarding a member country that mixes racism and political agendas with sports is contradictory to FIFA's principles and slogans. Any region or country that tries to rename Persian Gulf based on purely race is not only promoting racism and political agendas but also defying FIFA's principles.

We need assurance from FIFA, that UAE will be forced to change their league name, as FIFA's inaction will be considered as a racist and a political act against the Iranian people.

Please respond immediately and accordingly
