Why It Matters

The Nations League match between Ireland and Israel took place in Debrecen, Hungary, in a climate of strong political tensions.

Font size

The Ireland-Israel tensions did not stop on the pitch: after the Irish's clear 3-0 win in the Nations League, the Israeli captain Manor Solomon responded to the opponents' protests with words intended to spark discussion: "Obviously they hate us, we don't like them". And - reports the Guardian - he then added: "We have a country ten times better than theirs, stronger, extraordinary, with extraordinary people".

The match in Debrecen, Hungary, was preceded by protest gestures from the Irish team. Players wore armbands, bowed their heads during the Israeli anthem and forgo shaking hands before kickoff. Goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu also left retirement following controversy surrounding the conflict in Gaza.

Solomon, interviewed by Israeli television Sport 5, implied that he had avoided even harsher statements for fear of disqualification: "If I say what I think of them, I would probably be disqualified for a few matches."

Then he added: "I don't care. They can do all their own stunts and do whatever they want. We are Israelis, we love our country and it will always be like that." The two national teams will face each other again next Sunday in Serbia, in an already particularly tense climate. “It will be a completely different game, we can't wait,” Solomon promised.
