Ireland to play Israel on Sunday despite player withdrawal
The Irish national football team will proceed with their Nations League match against Israel on Sunday, as confirmed by the Football Association of Ireland during a press conference in Hungary. Although one player withdrew from the squad due to the ongoing war in Gaza, a significant majority of the team voted to play. Head coach Heimir Hallgrímsson acknowledged the discomfort surrounding the fixture, noting that no solution satisfies everyone, while the home leg scheduled for October 4 will be played on neutral ground.
