Why It Matters
Amid the conflict between the football federations of the two countries, players will not exchange T-shirts, and coaches will not shake hands.
The Irish national team will not boycott the match against Israel and will take part in the match on Sunday, said David Courrell, chief executive of the Football Association of Ireland (FAI).
The B League meeting is scheduled for Sunday and is scheduled to start at 21:45 Moscow time. The Independent previously reported that team players will not exchange T-shirts after upcoming matches amid a conflict between the two countries' football federations, and national team coaches will not shake hands. On Saturday it became known that some Irish national team players do not want to take part in the match and are considering a boycott.
“We held a vote among the players. Most of the squad voted for the match to take place. Everything will go as planned,” Courella was quoted as saying from a press conference by RTE Sport.
Ireland head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson said one player had left the national team after he expressed a desire not to play in the match against Israel on Sunday.
