Israel was due to play Switzerland and Kosovo in Euro 2024 qualifiers, but UEFA agreed to postpone the matches after the Islamist movement Hamas launched its biggest attack on Israel in years on Saturday.

Israel will play three matches in November and one in December

UEFA has already postponed the Israel-Switzerland match and is yet to make an official announcement regarding the Kosovo-Israel match, which was supposed to take place on October 15. Israel has already canceled the hotel reservation in Pristina.

Thus, Israel will play three matches in November, with the last match of the preliminary round in December.

“I thank the president of UEFA and the top officials of the organization for responding to my request to postpone the upcoming match against Switzerland and the games of the youth team in view of the situation in Israel.

It is also worth noting the sportsmanship of our colleagues from Switzerland, Romania and Kosovo, who understood the unusual and painful circumstances.

It is not an easy professional challenge, but in our most painful moments as a country, we wanted to make sure that in the near future we will have the opportunity to be together and win on grass. Amen” – Moshe Shino Suarezpresident of the Israel Football Federation, ONE quotes.

In addition to the matches of the senior national team of Israel, the matches of the national teams U17 (with Belgium, Gibraltar and Wales) and U21 (with Estonia and Germany) have also been postponed.

Romania are due to face Israel away on November 18, but the game is likely to be played on a neutral ground.
