Olympian Moh Ahmed joins call to cancel Canada’s Davis Cup tie with Israel in Halifax
Moh Ahmed and 412 Canadians urge cancellation of the Davis Cup tie with Israel due to allegations of genocide, with signatories including UN experts and prominent athletes.
- Canada will host a Davis Cup tie against Israel at the Scotiabank Centre on September 12-13, 2025, deciding 2026 qualifier advancement.
- Following their defeat to Hungary by a 3-2 margin in the first-round qualifier held in Montreal this past February, Canada moved down to World Group I.
- Four-Time Olympian Moh Ahmed and 412 other Canadians signed a letter urging Tennis Canada to cancel this tie amid condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
- The letter calls Israel’s conduct a “genocide against the Palestinian people,” cites athletes refusing Israeli opponents, and states proceeding would be 'unconscionable.'
- Signatories emphasize that Sport Canada and Tennis Canada have a responsibility to advance social justice and align themselves with the ethical perspective that history will ultimately honor, given the influential role of sports in shaping national identities.
