A club in Chile that is popular among fans of Palestinian descent has been fined by the country’s soccer league for wearing game jerseys in which the No. 1 was depicted by a 1947 map of Palestine before the creation of Israel.

Players for Palestino, a club that was founded in 1920 by immigrants from Palestine, have worn the jerseys in all three of their matches so far this season.

“The figure 1 was replaced by a map of the historic Palestine, before the United Nations resolution of Nov. 20, 1947, which established a Jewish state and an Arab state,” said the complaint by Patrick Kiblisky, the club president of Ñublense. Kiblisky is Jewish. “This map, which does not take into account the present state of Israel, is a symbol for the Palestinian people. These circumstances mean that its use constitutes a political matter.”

There are about 300,000 people of Palestinian descent living in Chile. That is believed to be one of the biggest populations outside the Middle East; the country’s Jewish population is under 20,000.
