🔻 The football competition of the Republic of Ireland and the captives of Israel in the shadow of the Gaza war

🔻 The national football team of the Republic of Ireland is going to play against the captives of Israel as part of the European League of Nations, and the opposition to this game continues.

Some civil activists demanded that this game be sanctioned because of the war in Gaza. Some say the Republic of Ireland should withdraw from these competitions. Sport Ireland for Palestine has also launched a campaign called 'Stop the Game'.

Ireland, coached by Heimir Hallgrimsson, are scheduled to play Israel captive at 19:45 UK time in Debrecen, Hungary. The second leg is scheduled for next Sunday in Beka Topola, Serbia.

Brian Kerr, the former head coach of the Republic of Ireland national team, and James McClain, the former player of the national team of this country, supported the sanctioning of the game.

The Irish team initially refused to attend the press conference before the game with POWs, but eventually appeared at this press conference. It has now been confirmed that the controversial match will definitely take place. In the past the Captive Football Association accused the Republic of Ireland head coach of "ignorance, hypocrisy and stupidity"; The accusation came after Mr Hallgrimsson said his team would be playing "against genocide".
