07 July 2022; MEMO: Jordan's Wihdat sports club said yesterday it would not participate in an international handball competition in the United Arab Emirates because of the participation of an Israeli team.

"Officially, the Wihdat club announces that will not participate in the Al-Ain handball championship, #no_normalization," the club said on Twitter.
