Noam Steifman Joins Israel's U21 Squad After Senior Team Loss
Following Israel's disappointing 3-1 defeat to Austria on Thursday, national team defender Noam Steifman has been added to the U21 squad. Steifman did not play in the senior team's match, remaining on the bench for the full 90 minutes. This move aligns with a prior agreement between senior team coach Ran Ben Shimon and U21 coach Guy Luzon. Steifman is expected to join the U21 team as they prepare for two crucial upcoming matches against Slovenia and Norway. These games are significant as they will determine whether the U21 team qualifies for the European Championship playoffs. The U21 team is currently aiming to secure a spot in the tournament.
