# Football in the State of Palestine

The sport of football in the of State of Palestine is run by the Palestinian Football Association. The association administers national teams and club competitions. They are members of FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation. Women's football is popular also in Palestine. The opening match of the Palestine Women's National Football League on February 10, 2011, in the Feisal al-Husseini Stadium was attended by an estimated 8,000 people. The Women's league has six teams. Football is the most popular sport in Palestine. Honey Thaljieh is a pioneer in women's football.

## History

The game was originally introduced during the time of the British Mandate. Palestine has one of the oldest histories of organized football in the Middle East with evidence of the game being played at an organized level amongst Palestinian youths since at least the early 1920s. Some notable clubs during the early years of Palestinian football were Shabab Al Arab of Haifa, the Orthodox Club of Jerusalem, and Islami Yaffa. During these years, Palestinian stars, such as Jabra Al-Zarqa, George Mardeni, and Majed Assad represented an excellence that was second to none. Jabra Al-Zarqa received an offer to play for Arsenal FC while playing in the British Army's Haifa League in 1945.
The Eretz Israel Football Association was formed in 1928 and joined FIFA in 1929. It is associated with the Israeli Football Association. At the time the association was made up of Arab clubs, Jewish clubs and clubs representing British policemen and soldiers serving in the region during the British Mandate rule that spanned the period between World War One and the independence of the state of Israel in 1948. The qualification matches for the 1934 and 1938 World Cups were contested by a Mandatory Palestine national football team made up exclusively of Jewish players.
Palestine applied to, and was admitted into FIFA in 1998. They played their first friendly matches against Lebanon, Jordan and Syria in July 1998. The following year, the team, led by Palestinian-Israeli coach Azmi Nasser took part in the 1999 Pan Arab Games, in which they won the bronze medal after beating Syria, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, while only losing to hosts Jordan.

# Khul Ke Khel

"Khul Ke Khel" (Urdu: کھل کے کھیل, lit. 'Play Fearlessly') is the official anthem of the 2024 Pakistan Super League, the ninth season of Pakistan Super League. Written and produced by Ali Zafar, it is sung by him and Aima Baig.

## Background

Ali Zafar had continuously been a part of the league thrice since its inaugural till 2018. However, after facing harassment allegations by Meesha Shafi in 2018, he could not be the part officially again despite not being proven guilty by the law.
In mid-January 2024, it was reported that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had contacted Zafar to return this year for the anthem. He started working on three songs in November 2023 before one got finalized into planning phase. However, his contract was pulled when some franchises objected that his involvement would tarnish the league's image. Zafar took his X social handle for an audience poll asking the same, which sparked further speculations.
However, days after then PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf resigned, Aima Baig shared the news on 1 February through her Instagram handle that she signed in along with Zafar, and the anthem title was officially revealed on 4 February with hashtag #KhulKeKhel.
While Baig has performed two consecutive title anthems before in 2021 and 2022, she has been a part of the league's multiple ceremonies since 2018.

## Release

The anthem was released on 14 February 2024 across multiple social media platforms. Within two days, it topped on YouTube Music in Pakistan.

## Opening ceremony

Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, hosted its first opening ceremony for the league on 17 February 2024. Natasha Baig opened with the Leo Twins to perform "Qaumi Taranah", followed by a laser lighting display. Afterwards, Arif Lohar performed with his sons, and then Noori performed. Then, Zafar performed on all his previous anthems, followed by his collaboration with Baig for the current title anthem. The ceremony closed with the fireworks.

## Reception

The anthem received mixed reception, with people comparing it with "Ab Khel Jamay Ga" – an anthem that became a symbol for the league. Manahil Tahira wrote in The Express Tribune that Zafar's latest anthem may not be new due the similar "melodic structure", which may "evoke nostalgia for whom 7 years is a long time" and may be "boredom for those who remember". Samaa TV noted that with Zafar's "signature energy" and Baig's "captivating vocals", the anthem "captures the spirit of cricket and the passion of Pakistani fans". Ameena Amin wrote for Startup Pakistan that the anthem's "upbeat tempo", "engaging lyrics", and "dynamic melody" sets an "electrifying cricket season".
Soon after anthem's release, hashtag #KingIsBack was trending on X, with some people referring Zafar as the king of the cricket anthems, while others referring to Imran Khan.
# Bob Jones (footballer, born 1902)

Robert H. Jones (9 January 1902 – 1989) was an English professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He began his career with Everton, where he made his professional debut, and Southport but was unable to establish himself in either side.
He joined Bolton Wanderers in 1929, replacing Dick Pym as first choice goalkeeper before going on to make over 200 appearances in all competitions for the club. He joined Cardiff City in 1937 where he finished his playing career before working as a trainer with Southport.

## Career

Born in Everton, Jones began his career as an apprentice with his hometown club, becoming close friends with Dixie Dean. He had written to the club to request a trial while playing as a left half but, when the goalkeeper for the session failed to arrive, he was put in goal and impressed enough to be given a contract. He made his professional debut on 8 November 1924 in a 2–2 draw with Manchester City. However, he was unable to establish himself in the first team, making two further appearances, before leaving to join Third Division North side Southport in 1926. He made his debut for Southport on 13 September 1926 in a 5–1 defeat to Chesterfield but made just two further appearances during the 1926–27 season. Over the following three seasons, he remained a backup goalkeeper, making 13 appearances before leaving the club in 1929.
He joined Bolton Wanderers soon after, being signed as cover for long serving goalkeeper Dick Pym. With Pym approaching the end of his career, Jones replaced him in the side for the majority of the 1930–31 season and established himself as the club's first choice goalkeeper. He went on to make over 200 appearances in all competitions for the club before he was replaced by Stan Hanson.
In July 1937, he joined Third Division South side Cardiff City on a free transfer. In his first season, he was ever present for the club, appearing in all 49 competitive matches Cardiff played. However, the following season, he was displaced by Bill Fielding and left the club at the end of the season to rejoin Southport. He returned to Southport in 1939 after being persuaded by a club official to keep playing; Jones was planning on buying a pub to manage. However, the outbreak of World War II brought an end to his professional playing career and, after representing the club in wartime fixtures, he was appointed as a trainer in 1947.
He continued to feature for Southport's reserve side until 1950, becoming the oldest player to represent the club at any level at the age of 48. He retired after eleven years as the club's trainer.

## Personal life

His son Bobby Jones later progressed through the youth system at Southport under his father's guidance to become a professional footballer. After retiring, Jones went to live with his son before his death in 1989 from pneumonia.

# Administrative meeting of senators not appearing on the list of any group

The administrative meeting of senators not appearing on the list of any group (French: réunion administrative des sénateurs ne figurant sur la liste d'aucun groupe, abbreviated RASNAG) is the term used since 1976 to refer to the grouping of members of the Senate of France who are not registered (non inscrits) as belonging to any political group. It is not itself a formal parliamentary group, although a group of non-registered members existed from 1968 to 1976, first under the name of the group of non-registered members (groupe des non-inscrits) from 3 October 1968, and later the group of the union of senators not registered with a political group (groupe de l'Union des sénateurs non inscrits à un groupe politique) from 30 June 1971 to 1976, both of which elected their own presidents. Non-inscrits have not always formed a group; in the records of the Journal officiel, such members were listed under the title of senators not registered with a political group (sénateurs non inscrits à un groupe politique) from 1959 to 1960 and 1964 to 1967, as well as under the appellation of senators neither appearing on a list nor associated with a group list (sénateurs ne figurant ni sur une liste ni à la suite d'une liste de groupe) from 1961 to 1963, 1968 to 1969, and in 1973.
Historically, non-inscrits have tended to form a parliamentary group when possible; however, this has often not been feasible because they were too few in number to do so, the current threshold being 10 senators. The administrative meeting therefore elects a delegate who represents it in a manner analogous to that of presidents in other political groups and has certain rights of participation in the allocation of seats in committees and the apportionment between parliamentary groups of membership of the Bureau of the Senate. The group is chaired by Jean-Louis Masson since 6 October 2020.
