During the playing of the Israeli national anthem before a UEFA Nations League match, the Irish team displayed what has been described as disrespectful behavior. The Israeli team was facing Ireland in the second round of the competition. As "Hatikvah" was sung, the Irish team's bench turned their backs to the field, while the players on the pitch bowed their heads. The incident occurred prior to the kickoff of the match between the two national teams, coached by Ran Ben Shimon for Israel. The report from Sport 5 characterized the actions as a "disgrace" and "ugly gestures."
