Republic of Ireland squad will meet to discuss Israel games
Dara O'Shea says the Republic of Ireland squad will wait until after Thursday's Kosovo game before discussing how they approach Sunday's contentious fixture against Israel.
The Republic of Ireland soccer team will convene on Friday to discuss their approach to the upcoming Israel matches, scheduled for Sunday. The decision on whether to boycott the games remains a collective choice made by the Football Association of Ireland, UEFA, and the Irish government. Captain Dara O Shea emphasized the importance of respecting each player's opinion and views during the discussion.
The team faces Kosovo in Pristina on Thursday before heading to Debrecen, Hungary, for the Israel games. While the squad has been aware of the controversy surrounding the Israel matches, they have made efforts to minimize distractions by avoiding social media. O Shea acknowledged that the situation is difficult and unusual for the players, who will also face Israel in a home game on October 4th.
