Khadamat Al-Maghazi Club in Gaza: Pursuing Football Dreams Despite Genocide

In Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, the Khadamat al-Maghazi club has a long tradition of dedication and success in football and basketball.

In the ongoing Zionist genocide against Gaza, the club’s martyrs include Yousef al-Heela, the team’s football manager, and Muhannad al-Lilli, a star player who began his career at Khadamat al-Maghazi and returned to the team in recent years.

Despite the extreme hardships of siege and genocide, the club is continuing to pursue athletic accomplishments, love of sport — and love of Palestine.
