Irish footballers vote to play Israel in Nations League despite boycott calls
La Nación (Argentina)LO·IE · IL · HU·3 days ago
The BDS movement has publicly praised Irish goalkeeper Bazuno for refusing to play against Israel and called on the Irish Football Association to heed popular demands, while urging FIFA to exclude Israel from international sports. This is part of a broader campaign to isolate Israel in sports, but the immediate impact is limited to symbolic pressure. The move reflects ongoing tensions related to the Gaza conflict, though no official action by FIFA or the Irish FA has been announced.
