Israel fans can attend Republic of Ireland fixture
Israel supporters will be in attendance when their side face the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League next month but no away fans will be facilitated.
Fans of the Israel national football team will be present for their upcoming match against the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League, set for 27 September at the Nagyerdei Stadion in Debrecen, Hungary. However, no away fans will be accommodated for this game. The reverse fixture will take place in Serbia on October 4, and it will be played entirely behind closed doors due to operational challenges and safety concerns.
The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) understands the dedication of Irish supporters but deemed these measures necessary. The Israel Football Association (IFA) has also confirmed that a limited number of their supporters will be allowed at the Debrecen match. Both games are part of Group B3 in the Nations League.
