Belgians want to move UEFA Nations League match with Israel abroad

The Belgian authorities want to move the UEFA Nations League match with the Israeli national team abroad, Het Laatste Nieuws reports.

According to the source, the Brussels city hall said it could not host the meeting scheduled for September 6 due to possible protests and security risks for fans, teams and city residents. It is noted that a similar decision was made in Leuven, Bruges, Antwerp and Liege. The Royal Belgian Football Association (KBVB) is currently discussing alternative options with UEFA.

In December 2023, the President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Alexander Dyukov revealed the response of FIFA and UEFA officials to the question about the absence of sanctions against the Israeli national team. He stated that FIFA and UEFA threw up their hands in response to the question about the country.

Russian national teams were suspended from international tournaments after the start of the SVO in Ukraine. Israeli teams continue to compete in FIFA and UEFA competitions despite the military operation in Palestine.
